Pros

For being part of a large PR company, the office has a home town feel. People are warm and inviting. Work is exciting and very fast paced.

Cons

Salary should be higher as we do the same work other offices do but at a lower rate.

Pros

Amazing culture; unbelievably smart people. I am constantly learning and growing and being challenged with new projects.

Cons

Semi difficult work life balance because clientele is some of the biggest and best in the world. These brands never sleep, so you're constantly on call. Cons of being the best at what you do.

Pros

Incredibly smart, talented and driven team - they are the best of the best. Perfection is expected to garner the best results possible for all clients. It's a fast-paced, challenging and exciting environment that pushes everyone to produce their best. I loved working there, learned a ton, received a lot of opportunity. I was never a better PR professional than while at Edelman (if only I wanted to work in PR long-term...). Pay is fair. Great internal training. Amazing female mentoring groups. Offices are fabulous.

Cons

There are a lot of levels and processes that don't always drive production. While upper mgmt pushes "work/life" balance, long hours are often expected to get the job done. In some practice groups, there can be a lot of cattiness and competition. Success is truly based on your team and manager.
