Pros

There a great vibe of collaboration that I find refreshing. Bringing in views from various teams/departments is a nice way to recognize other's input and to share knowledge.

Cons

The office space can be difficult to work in - while its nice to have many colleagues in one area, it can be hard to work with many phone calls and conversations going on around you. Ear plugs help, but can only do so much

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.
