Pros

I was able to have a much better work-life balance than at other agencies. The team I worked on was very supportive, and overall I enjoyed the people I got to work with there. If you play the game, you can occasionally get on some cool clients.

Cons

It is so big and it feels that way - you feel like a tiny fish in a huge ocean and it's hard to feel any different. I was asked to work on clients that I did not agree with on an ethical level, which I believe went against what Edelman stands for, but I will note that when I asked to be taken off the client, my manager was very understanding and supportive that this went against my beliefs. I think Edelman should practice what they preach more when it comes to the clients they work with.
