Pros

There a great vibe of collaboration that I find refreshing. Bringing in views from various teams/departments is a nice way to recognize other's input and to share knowledge.

Cons

The office space can be difficult to work in - while its nice to have many colleagues in one area, it can be hard to work with many phone calls and conversations going on around you. Ear plugs help, but can only do so much

Pros

Unmatched room for growth and the company stays abreast of the current and future trends in the industry. Edelman truly wants its employees to be the best in the business.

Cons

Long hours are required and expected. This is not just Edelman, however, but that of all PR agencies.

Pros

- The people/staff; creative individuals with a broad range of talents/backgrounds - Access to resources and intellectual property - Broad portfolio of high-profile clients

Cons

- Favoritism - Inconsistencies in growth opportunities (sometimes promotions are awarded based on individual team needs vs. job performance) - Sometimes I feel like I work for my clients, not for Edelman
