Pros

Edelman Intelligence (formerly Edelman Berland) is a good place to start your career coming out of college, especially in the Rochester area. The company employs many recent graduates with a variety of different degrees. Employees and management tend to get along very well, and management genuinely cares about the well-being of their employees. Friendly, casual work environment with an open floor plan office layout. Work-life balance is good, with solid benefits and plenty of vacation days. Exposure to many high profile clients and PR campaigns. Edelman is a well-known company and looks good on your resume, as they are the world's largest privately-owned PR firm.

Cons

In Rochester, it feels as though our work is often under appreciated by account teams in various geo offices, as the finished product is sometimes not even shared with the Rochester team (even though we often do a lot of the heavy lifting). At a certain point (usually at the 2-3 mark), the company could do a better job of retaining junior level talent, as they often leave for better opportunities (more $). If a certain standard is met, entry level employees will receive a promotion within 1-2 years, with no clear career path after that. Work can be monotonous at times with little variety in a day (media monitoring reports, coding projects). It would be more beneficial for employees to understand how their work matters in the grand scheme of things and to be involved every step of the way rather than just a "behind-the-scenes" role.

open working environment, good relationship and team building, many learning opportunities, seminars each week, many food haha.

Cons

need to work overtime, repeating workload sometimes, reach the learning glass ceiling after a period of time, need to travel sometimes, after work, sometimes you still need to answer clients' calls.
