Pros

Amazing people who are crazy smart, creative and an entire team excited to pitch in where needed Opportunities offered based on capability and merit, not just the time spent paying your dues Encourages people to drive new ways of thinking, new offerings and capabilities

Cons

Being part of a medium-sized digital agency within the biggest global PR agency can offer non-stop opportunities with clients, but also can be a heavy weight on relatively few digital team members in comparison to the company at-large to address everything of interest to the PR businesses.

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.
