Pros

Some of the smartest people in the business Opportunities you won't find anywhere else Opportunity to chart your career path in the direction you want and take on leadership roles at every level

Cons

Work to do on tackling sexism and racism in the workplace Major burnout culture Experience depends entirely on your manager/leadership team Could pay more competitively - I think there is some sense that because of the Edelman name they can pay less...an "anyone would kill to work here attitude"

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.
