Business outlook
Pros
The leadership and the vision they set for the company are inspirational. I have not seen an agency, or any company for that matter, focus on pushing the limits of its industry like Edelman, especially in the professional services space. Top performers are recognized and given the freedom to push their professional boundaries.
Cons
Edelman is extremely cheap, even when it touts that it wants to compete with ad agencies and consulting firms. There does not seem to be a compensation strategy in place, and if it exists, it's not communicated at all to staff. It seems you are tied to percent increases vs. staying competitive in the marketplace.
