Pros

The office is an incredibly friendly place, full of enthusiastic and approachable people. On the whole, stuff just gets done - I couldn't pinpoint anybody I've worked with who I think was only half-assing it. Any times I've had a problem (personal or professional) I've been met with supportive line management. I feel like when I ask to try something new, I'm taken seriously and given the chance to improve my skills.

Cons

Your hours vary enormously by team, some teams are really good for making sure you're not always staying late, others regularly stay late and consider it 'the norm'. Right now, I have very few complaints about my job, but I'm given the impression that the higher up you are, the more the cracks start to show, so it's easy for me to be overwhelmingly positive. However, because of occasional negativity from mid-level staff, I sometimes feel worried about when the bubble will burst and the cracks will start to show.

Pros

Edelman has extensive network globally. It is the training ground for all entry-level PR/communication professionals who wish to learn. The location is quite strategic, about 15-minute walk from the Blok M Plaza MRT Station.

Cons

The culture has been one of the weaknesses of Edelman. Due to its vacant top position, there wasn't a clear direction on where to go. It then cascades to the other top management levels.
