Pros

amazingly creative and impactful history. has spawned many offshoots and changed the industry over the past 75 years

Cons

20,000 employees is a lot to manage for a corporate structure. one bad egg ruins the reputations of the whole group, and there is no way to have no bad eggs at that scale. Understanding the difference between an emerging market (for them) and an established market (for them) is not an easy task internally. this leads to a huge disparity between established office success and emerging office success.

Pros

great supervisor, lots of professional development opportunities

Cons

insane workload and expect you to be available for work 24/7. some teams are drowning and others have no resourcing. layoffs happen completely randomly and they lay off people who are 100 percent billable. profit share is bs and you get nothing as a junior member
