Pros
Client roster is varied and interesting. Management practices ethnic diversity with regard to hiring. The partners have very high standards for creative output, design and client service. Studio decor is flashy and edgy. CBX hosts lavish parties for it's employees.
Cons
There is little regard for work/life balance. The partners' primary concern is making as much money as possible, therefore staffers put in extraordinarily long hours for long stretches with little or no compensation. There is a strong youth culture which is not necessarily a con but the irreverence it fosters makes day-to-day interactions a chore. There is little effort to reign-in unprofessional behavior and in some ways it's encouraged. The layout of workstations is awkward–one often has to walk the length of a block to have a face-to-face conversation.
