Pros

Edelman has the best reputation among PR firms within the industry - and that shows when working there. Thought leadership, employee training and career development are all opportunities afforded by working for a privately held company that reinvests its profits.

Cons

Edelman is a large company with the usual amount of bureacracy and company politics. It's a place where you need to know what you want and go after it agressively - no one holds your hand.

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.
