Pros
The pros are clear: Edelman and the client relationships are the best of the best. You will have lots to talk about in future interviews.
Cons
The cons; however, are endless. Mike is impulsive and surrounds himself by loud senior management who exemplify poor leadership and quite frankly lack of any sort of intelligence. They pride themselves on being pseudo consultants, but the work lacks any sort of research backing or real innovative insights. There is a reason their contracts are no where near the scale of a consulting firm. The biggest problem is the intense group think where all really and truly believe that their work is the best and most important in the world, but ask again if their research has every been published in the NYTimes and you'll get a big... no.
