Pros

You can get a lot of Edelman, if you choose, to especially to develop your own careers and new skill sets.

Cons

Usually not interested in ideas outside of the status quo, a lot of back patting and self-congratulatory talk, not a lot willingness to think outside the box despite what they think. Focus is on upper level employees.

Pros

Recognized name in PR Large, well-recognized clients means projects often have national or global scale Depending on your specific division within the company, you may be exposed, even at the junior level , to client -facing roles.

Cons

Level of competence varies amongst employees and managers: some are highly capable leaders while others seem to be merely adequate. The firm is plagued by the same issues that most PR firms encounter: high staff turnover, tensions between business development and delivering a consistently high-quality product.
