      Pros

      Amazing coworkers, chill vibe compared to most ad agencies, decent company benefits

      Cons

      No matter what they tell you, this is still a PR shop, and work suffers because of that. Clients won't let you out of that PR "lane" because they already have other creative agencies, and as such, you spend a lot of time putting together decks for lackluster ideas that probably won't get produced. The creative department is also EXCEPTIONALLY top-heavy (everyone's a VP), meaning opportunities for growth are few and far between. This is not a place to build up your book, it's a place to build a comfortable living and start a family, which can really hurt creatives who are looking for more in their career.

      Pros

      Edelman gives you real exposure to senior leaders, complex work, and smart people. You can learn a lot quickly, build strong relationships, and get close to how decisions are made. There are also good opportunities to take on meaningful projects if you are proactive and willing to speak up.

      Cons

      The pace can be a lot, and the work can feel reactive at times. Priorities shift quickly and roles often expand beyond the original scope without always having clear boundaries, title growth, or compensation changes. Career growth is possible, but you often have to advocate for it yourself. Overall, Edelman can be a great place to grow if you are adaptable, organized, and comfortable with ambiguity. It works best when you have strong leaders, clear expectations, and support around workload and growth. That last part is impossible to control, so may the odds be in your favor.
