Pros

Edelman has the best, smartest, most creative and most fun/interesting people in the business. This place is dynamic, evolving, forward-looking and unafraid of taking risks on new ideas. The Exec Comm puts people and clients first and keeps a strong focus on growth, development, leading-edge thinking and quality. I can see why many very talented people are attracted here and end up staying a long time, which is the best job perk of all.

Cons

All this entrepreneurialism can occasionally lead to new-idea overload, and you have to sort through what's really most important and how you can bring it to your clients.

Pros

Edelman is a family. Edelman is a place to grow your career and to learn from the best. Get ready to work hard.

Cons

Edelman is not a 9 to 5 job. I work in my car on the way to work and on my way home. That said, I love it all.
