      Pros

      Lots of title upgrading available, promote from within, work on big client names.

      Cons

      LOTS of clueless people in charge. Too much bureaucracy makes for inefficient work & lengthy timelines. Anything Digital is run by the most junior of people, which are absolutely stupid and clueless journalism-chasing interns who joined for PR and got silo'd into doing "digital" work. By the way, they consider anything online to be digital. So when you get their "Digital Specialist" or senior Digital people, you're getting glorified Tweeters and Facebook posters who got over promoted after sticking around since the 90's. Their entire advertising teams in some offices consist sometimes no people in fact trained in advertising. A money-sucking proposition for clients.

      Pros

      Might work on an array of brands which Edelman has lots of access to. Insurance coverage is great. Roof deck is amazing (when you get to use it).

      Cons

      Will work you to the bone. Completely thankless. I was belittled by my boss even though he liked my work and I pulled 16 hour days, 4 days a week. Working on digital work or campaigns was a nightmare because the PR teams try to govern them, but so do the creative teams. People like to pretend that they know what they are doing, but it's more about politics than anything else. And they try and give you a whole Edelman propaganda lowdown, so they can get you to drink the koolaid, when working there just causes you to drink excessively from stress.
