Pros

Edelman is a great place to come in and learn/improve your valuable PR skills based on insights from some of the best PR pros in the business. While Edelman is a big, privately owned company, you are never lost in the shuffle. There are numerous opportunities for additional education and spearheading new initiatives. If you have an idea, Edelman lets you run with it.

Cons

Typical agency problems - long hours, last minute deadlines, quick burn out ratio. The difference is that Edelman goes the extra mile to compensate you for your hard work with comp days, internal and external praise, etc.
