      Long hours, at times cutthroat, but good if you know you want to be in PR

      Pros

      It's well recognized and well regarded within the world of PR. If you work or have worked for Edelman people in the marketing world tend to recognize the name, depending on what type of marketing and where in the world you are. Definitely, if you intend to continue on in a career in PR, everyone in PR knows Edelman and most likely associates you with a certain level of aptitude and accomplishment given the nature of the company and the working environment.

      Cons

      Long work hours, sometimes working on weekends if there's a big event going on, always having to be keenly aware of what is going on in the news media, breaking news, etc.

      Good place to work in PR

      Pros

      Fun place to work overall with great people. There you have a very clear career path and managers are open to giving feedback and committed to helping you grow. Promotions are frequent, but sought after, and they give you something to strive for...rather than at other agencies where you may remain the same position for years at a time. Some people will become Edelman lifers if they fall in with the right contacts. Most others will go away...some to realize that Edelman wasn't so bad after all. Great benefits, smart people, high standards in general.

      Cons

      Very political. Long hours. Some glamorous accounts...some not so much.
