Pros

You get to work with a bunch of big name companies and add to your resume.

Cons

There is unfortunately little to no work life balance, and senior employees have a "bully" mentality towards junior level employees. There were many nights where I would be at work past 9pm and working on weekends. I even received calls on vacation. Do not recommend.

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.
