Pros

I love working at Edelman. Despite what I had heard about traditional PR firms (particularly those the size of Edelman), the company has a collaborative work culture. You are encouraged to ask for what you want and voice your opinion, no matter what level you are. Perks also include insanely smart colleagues, transparent business practices and the fact that it is privately owned.

Cons

For the amount of work expected of the junior staff, starting salaries are very low. Work life balance isn't the best, but I have met people from PR firms with much worse balance. I think it's really a hallmark of the job (and the high-profile clients that come along with it) and less a reflection of the company.

Pros

Leadership, values and clients -- we are given an opportunity every single day to partake in some of the most exciting work going on in America and all over the world and when you factor in the greatness of what goes on inside the office -- the internal relationships we're building with our leaders and with each other -- Edelman is absolutely the best place to work.

Cons

Salary for lower level employees -- it's not terrible but it's not exactly that attractive, especially when compared to that received by the same level employees at other businesses and in other industries.
