Pros

Edelman is a well-known firm and has a strong creative staff. The agency also has an extensive list of clients across a number of practices including technology, healthcare, consumer, etc. The company does a good job of staffing accounts across offices and regions to take advantage of different expertises that vary across the country. The company also has extensive international offices that are helpful when clients need work done in foreign countries, need documents, translated or need access to press in foreign countries.

Cons

Low pay for junior staff, and on large accounts the junior staff are not always given opportunities to experience different types of the business i.e. plan development, extensive media outreach, etc.
