Pros

No pros ever during 2 years at the company

Cons

Management highly abuse their power to bend the policies to their favor. Worst work ethics as they borrow and use your identity as general manager to operate the company and make it legal as per country laws but they don’t acknowledge you with any benefits or compensations in exchange of using your name .. and when you say you don’t approve and ask them to stop using and abusing your identity they start manipulations and mistreatment and bury you under work that is not even your task to keep you busy and stop using your brain and see how much they are abusing you .. they also force you to give legal power of attorney against your will .. many employees from different grades raised complaints and legally disputed the company for mistreatment and illegal actions against labor law

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).
