Pros

Edelman takes the time to really understand what it needs to do to take care of its people, clients and business. Because the company is private, it doesn't chase the stock price which really allows it to focus on what's best for business. Edelman is also focused on how the market is changing, and making sure it is poised for the future.

Cons

Like any PR firm, the hours are long and it is difficult to find time to have a personal life.

Great clients. Great people to work with.

Office politics. Silly things that were sold to the client that just did not make sense.

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.
