Pros
Competitive pay and holidays (not that you get to enjoy them)
Cons
At it's core, Edelman is a company about servicing their client's wants, not needs. Because those in most high-ranking positions derive from accounts roles - elsewhere or or internally - this position makes sense, and it certainly contributes to the company's high scores in client satisfaction and growth. But this is also why the agency will never rise above the precept that it is nothing more than a PR Firm, which in fact it is. They made the AdAge A-List in 2011 (which isn't the best barometer anyway) but I wouldn't expect to see them there again any time soon.
