Pros

Edelman is a massive company - there are so many bright minds and specialty areas to tap into. Fair/competitive pay. Loyal client base.

Cons

The size of the agency can often feel like you're a cog in the corporate machine. Work/life balance isn't always great. Severe lack of junior/mid-level team, adding to senior-level workload (and costing clients more).
