Pros

Smart people to work with, big-name clients - especially in the consumer, digital and health practices, fast pace and innovative programs keeps people sharp as it relates to work skills, starting to develop a global rotation program for mid-level staff

Cons

Under pay their talent, seemingly little to no pushback on demanding/unreasonabe clients, work/life balance hard to acheive, still a bit of a "mean" workplace culture, although they are trying to address it (slow progress)

Pros

I worked with some of the brightest and best people in the business. Most of them are no longer with the company. Some good clients, and nice office space.

Cons

Very limited opportunities for growth. During my time they reduced promotions to only once a year, and made many excuses for promoting as few people as possible (despite becoming the first "$1B" agency at that time). Morale was extremely low. People were forced to come into an office with nobody they actually worked with. Common to be passed from manager to manager. At one point I had 6+ managers within a 10-month span.
