Business Outlook
Pros
Edelman is a large company with many resources and a spectrum of high-recognition clients. As a private company, there is less of a "roller coaster" during economic downturn which translates into security for staffers. Edelman is very good at its core competencies - media pitching/placing/ tracking. The sense of hierarchy is minimized within the offices, junior and senior staffers work side by side.
Cons
Edelman's specialty practices are weak and poorly structured. Upward mobility is difficult for those outside of the traditional institutional structure (if you're not a manager, you're not going anywhere). Notoriously cheap with employees and projects.
