      Pros

      Edelman is one of the few big agencies that truly cares about work/life balance and growing its people. The management is strong and creative, strategic thinking is rewarded. I have worked at other agencies big and small and Edelman has been the best at encouraging folks to carve out their own career path and then giving them the resources to accomplish it.

      Cons

      Any agency environment is going to have an intense work culture and at times Edelman is no different. Also, there can be a lot of politics internally - you'll often hear about how you have to "sell in" ideas internally before you can even bring them to clients.

      Pros

      Good people, and fun work.

      Cons

      Long hours, over demanding managers, and promotions are popularity contest. Not based on merit.

      Pros

      Hands down some of the best clients in the industry - so you'll get an advantage of building out your resume. People are willing to share advice and sit down with you, if you ask for it.

      Cons

      Salary much below the market. You have to manage your career from the very first day you become full-time, otherwise you will be left behind and looked over for promotions - which acts as a nod for you to seek employment elsewhere. Highly political, more career management than work. It gets exhausting quickly.
