Pros

Work with some of the industries best, access to all corners of the globe and truly a collegial work environment. Hands down the best place to start one's PR career.

Cons

The same things plague Edelman that plague all other global PR agencies. Poor compensation, high burnout rate and demanding managers that don't value work / life balance. While the legacy of Dan is woven into the very fabric of this agencies being, some of his core principles are lost in the struggle to meet financial targets.

Pros

I worked with some of the brightest and best people in the business. Most of them are no longer with the company. Some good clients, and nice office space.

Cons

Very limited opportunities for growth. During my time they reduced promotions to only once a year, and made many excuses for promoting as few people as possible (despite becoming the first "$1B" agency at that time). Morale was extremely low. People were forced to come into an office with nobody they actually worked with. Common to be passed from manager to manager. At one point I had 6+ managers within a 10-month span.
