Pros

Edelman takes the time to really understand what it needs to do to take care of its people, clients and business. Because the company is private, it doesn't chase the stock price which really allows it to focus on what's best for business. Edelman is also focused on how the market is changing, and making sure it is poised for the future.

Cons

Like any PR firm, the hours are long and it is difficult to find time to have a personal life.
