Pros

Great reputation in the industry High profile clients and a lot of variety Opportunity to work in different locations Great place to work for junior and mid-level staff

Cons

Incredibly political and a true "good-ole-boys" network Not a lot of advancement for women at the very top, unless you compromise your morals Money is everything to Edelman and client loyalty is based on client budget, if a client's competitor has a bigger budget, Edelman has no problem switching sides
