      Pros

      Edelman is in its own category of excellence. The work and clients are top-notch, the senior management is supportive of work/life balance, and an entrepreneurial spirit is woven into the company's DNA. You can work at Edelman for a very long time, and completely reinvent yourself many time along the way. There are hundreds of niche experts in all areas throughout the company - you never have to wing it with clients, you can find an expert to weigh in. My co-workers are passionate about this company in a way that simply doesn't exist at publically held companies. Our U.S. workforce of 2,000 is a force to behold - and we usually win at what we set out to accomplish.

      Cons

      Shrinking violets might take a bit longer to adjust to so many bold, confident co-workers.

      Pros

      Lots of energy here, and possibilities really are endless - you just have to make them for yourself.

      Cons

      While strong people are recognized, sometimes promotions are based on time rather than on true performance.
