Pros

It's one of those monsters that look good on your CV but experience-wise is a very disappointing agency. They invest a lot in team-bonding activities pushing introverted people to neurotic break. Mentality - smile, smile, smile and do what we tell you because your ideas don't matter. If you do everything as they told and don't show any initiative you are going to sit there forever and be a director of something.

Cons

Boring demotivating projects (to redesign another cigarette package, and another and another). A lot of % of all projects are from the tobacco industry which they don't even include in their portfolio. They try to be innovative and designy but it's an average boring agency which is doing packaging design. A+ students environment where everyone is competing with each other. Thinking outside of the box is encouraged (on words) but in reality it is strictly forbidden or impossible because it's again cigarette packaging, wua! In general a lot of promises but in reality it is the most boring agency with mediocre projects.
