Pros

Great work environment with incredibly intelligent people. Oppurtunities to work on interesting and Fortune 500 companies. Free gear is given out sometimes

Cons

Almost no opportunity to advance unless you are manager's favorite. Sometimes people fall through the cracks if have a quieter personality.

Thanks for your insightful review. I'm concerned that you are perceiving an unfair balance in advancement opportunities. Different personality types are critical to the make up of any team, and employees should be valued for their unique perspective and voice, so I would love to hear more from you. If you're comfortable, I would encourage you speak with your local HR to share your observations, or you may connect with me directly at maria.okeeffe@edelman.com.

Office politics. Silly things that were sold to the client that just did not make sense.

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.
