Pros

Great place to work and develop your PR skills. Invests behind its Thought Leadership, both dollars and mindshare, helping employees think beyond the traditional PR definition. Truly is what you make it - if there is something you want to do and can make the business case for it, doors are pretty wide open. Smart people, great clients, amazing work.

Cons

Geographic, practice and specialty group silos can make putting together the best team and best resources for clients challenging. That is getting better, though.

Pros

You can get a lot of Edelman, if you choose, to especially to develop your own careers and new skill sets.

Cons

Usually not interested in ideas outside of the status quo, a lot of back patting and self-congratulatory talk, not a lot willingness to think outside the box despite what they think. Focus is on upper level employees.
