Pros

This company is well-known across the US as a top PR agency - having Edelman on your resume is a competitive advantage. The office has a relaxed atmosphere (dress code, layout, etc.) that is conducive to a creative environment.

Cons

Work-life balance is non-existent. Depending on your team, you can put up to 70 hours a week in, and upper management will ask you in so many words to not bill all the hours you work. There are not enough junior members on teams to manage the work that is passed down. The compensation is not nearly enough for the time and hard work you will expend at this company.

Pros

Great opportunities for mobility and exploring your interests, talented people, interesting projects. If you can get in, I would absolutely recommend working here.

Cons

Compensation at a lower level could be much better.

Pros

There are a lot of opportunities within the company and job security you might not find at a smaller agency. Teams constantly produced high-quality work and are true professionals.

Cons

While there are a lot of opportunities, they can be difficult to take advantage of. The company preaches many things -work-life balance, flexibility within the agency and creativity or to "think differently", but that doesn't seem to apply to the average Edelman employee, especially Interns and AAEs. The pay is low for long hours and senior employees treat the junior staff as a resource rather than a human.
