Pros

Edelman has some very smart, very creative people that are experts in their particular field. This expands beyond just the Washington DC office. It is great to be able to interact with others who are subject matter experts and learn from their experiences while honing your own personal expertise.

Cons

It can be tough connecting with other Edelman employees from different offices or practices. More could be done to increase exposure of other groups and practices.

Pros

Great work-life balance. Fun office environment. Great, talented people.

Cons

The compensation is not great. Employee retention is not highly valued here, and it is tough to advance in this industry (Edelman included) without hopping from agency to agency.
