Pros

Edelman often provides opportunities to do interesting work with top-tier clients. There are many intelligent and kind people across the organization.

Cons

There is a near-constant state of anxiety around the potential next round of layoffs. During my time with the firm, there were considerable shifts in leadership, strategy, and business priorities, often communicated poorly and lacking follow-through.
