Pros

Interesting work, both large, successful clients and emerging industries and startups. Loved the people I worked with, and the lavish environment.

Cons

Tends to be a bit bureaucratic and snobbish sometimes, and my admin manager was watching the clock too much as opposed to paying attention to the quality of work being done by professional and paraprofessional staff.

Free lunch and snack bar

Some offices have awful open layouts and cubicle like associate seating. I also experienced a lot of turnover and instability under the new CEO.
