      New collaborative open work space, poor leadership :-{ - Senior Account Manager Edelman Employee Review

      Pros

      Good open work space and comms learning opportunities for junior level staff.

      Cons

      Culture. General consensus is the leader is in over her head and cares more about her "personal brand" than the client work. Considerable favoritism based on race and gender have been created by the leader as a protection mechanism. This only promotes unprofessional and poor behavior. Solid talent not wanting to manage their work in this type of environment and play the Hunger Games have left. Salaries are much lower than you would expect for a leading agency.

      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.
