      Pros

      I love working at Edelman. Despite what I had heard about traditional PR firms (particularly those the size of Edelman), the company has a collaborative work culture. You are encouraged to ask for what you want and voice your opinion, no matter what level you are. Perks also include insanely smart colleagues, transparent business practices and the fact that it is privately owned.

      Cons

      For the amount of work expected of the junior staff, starting salaries are very low. Work life balance isn't the best, but I have met people from PR firms with much worse balance. I think it's really a hallmark of the job (and the high-profile clients that come along with it) and less a reflection of the company.

      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.
