Pros

Excellent work-life balance and schedule flexibility (to pick up kids from school, run errands, appointments, etc.). New US leadership who are well-respected and more transparent (Webber, Graham). Smart teams and hard workers.

Cons

Company has been trying to find its footing for the last few years and has had lots of leadership changes, both nationally and regionally. This has led to feelings of instability and inconsistency of culture, values, and especially strategy. The industry at large has seen some contraction and Edelman is no exception, so promotions, raises and bonuses have stagnated, causing frustration among employees who feel they're falling behind against the rising cost of living.

Pros

I worked with some of the brightest and best people in the business. Most of them are no longer with the company. Some good clients, and nice office space.

Cons

Very limited opportunities for growth. During my time they reduced promotions to only once a year, and made many excuses for promoting as few people as possible (despite becoming the first "$1B" agency at that time). Morale was extremely low. People were forced to come into an office with nobody they actually worked with. Common to be passed from manager to manager. At one point I had 6+ managers within a 10-month span.
