Pros

You get firs hand information, support and training from Facebook, Twitter and Google. It's a diverse environment that connects you everyday to people from all around the world. You get the chance be involved in global campaigns and get to learn a little of how other markets work. Big budget to work with. Clients in some markets are very nice and good to work with. Gets you insight about how one of the biggest brand in the world does marketing. Steep learning curve if you are proactive and care about career development

Cons

Long work hours. Salary is not based on your actual work or performance but rather on the years you've been working for the agency or the circumstances of the moment when you where hired. In order to deliver results you might have to compensate for the other people's lack of professionalism. They constantly pressure the team to do more with less. Some campaigns are poorly planned and the executions of others often get affected by the constant really cramped deadlines.

Pros

- Big work. High visibility. Smart people. - There's a lot of camaraderie among the in-house folks, as the client can be a little difficult. - Things are looking up. No matter what has happened in the past, everyone is starting to look forward and concentrate on the future. - It's what you make it. While it feels a little corporate sometimes, your attitude about your work will be the ultimate determining factor in what you get out of the experience. This is a place for the self-starters, the self-motivated. You can do great things if you want to!

Cons

- There are some leftover bad attitudes from the merger. They'll drop off eventually, but you can sense it sometimes. To these people, I say, GET. OVER. IT. It will be healthier for you if you do. - More focused on traditional work. Not a ton of interest in digital. This will change! But that's how it is for now. - Senior leadership comes around like a blue moon and talks a big talk. But when they leave, things calm down and the people who run the day-to-day can continue concentrating on the work.
