Pros

Edelman is widely regarded for its Trust Barometer, which not only distinguishes the firm but acts as a foundation for much of the work the agency does. As a fiercely independent but still leading and very international operation, the culture, the people and the clients that Edelman retains are truly inspiring.

Cons

For all of the reasons I just mentioned, the bar on quality is very high at Edelman. This is obviously a good thing, but obviously also does create a certain amount of pressure to always be better than the day before. There's a certain amount of stress that goes along with that.

Pros

The company has strong values, is very humanized and invest a lot in training and employee development. Plus, here you will meet fantastic people from all over the world.

Cons

It is a very demanding business and this is a very demanding company, so, work-life balance is a big challenge. Plus, in a global perspective, politics can be something difficult do deal with.
