Pros
Great line on your resume, you may get the chance to work on large accounts.
Cons
Very political. They say they want differing perspectives, but only if the different perspectives align with the old ones. The senior managers seem to champion change, but that message isn't acted out in the trenches. Micromanagement is also an issue.
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.
