Pros

The abundance of career opportunities here at Edelman is endless. The company is structured for each employee to ultimately determine their own career path based upon their interests. Additionally, as the top pr firm in the world Edelman attracts top tier talent and works with some of the largest brands in the world. Being with such a large company also allows you a global network of resources to assist you in your day-to-day needs and the opportunity to work with other Edelman offices across the world.

Cons

Part of this is just the nature of the industry, but it is very challenging to maintain a work/life balance at times. If you are only open to a 9-5 Monday-Friday gig, this industry and company is probably not the best fit for you. That said, Edelman is great about holidays and PTOs.

Pros

People and culture are great. Supportive senior staff. World class clients and wealth of knowledge, resources and training opportunities. Employees work hard and have fun.

Cons

It's a large company so sometimes you feel a little bit like a cog in a machine; it also means you need to be adamant about your wants/needs/goals to achieve them.
