Vantaggi

- Edelman is objectively the best global communications firm thanks to its privately-held structure, positive culture and willingness to celebrate high-achievers. - The D.C. and NYC offices both possess great client bases, especially in the financial sector. - When it comes to Financial Communications, it helps that Richard Edelman supports the practice - Legit opportunities for advancement - Thoughtful managers when they have time to get to know you one-on-one - Fair compensation and willingness to give meaningful raises when promoted - Depending on the practice you're in, Edelman will invest in professional development (e.g. conferences and trips)

Svantaggi

- Edelman is probably too big right now at nearly 6,000 people - Too much focus on revenue over margin - Lack of focus on the basics (e.g. media relations, etc.) - Often times, weak senior talent at the VP-Practice Chair level doesn't get discovered as incompetent until after departures - FinComms leadership can sometimes be aloof and FinServ leadership seems to almost always lack the right sector expertise - Financial practice pays 15%-25% less than boutique peers

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
