Pros

Structured agency, global big accounts, good visibility to expose your work, reasonable benefits (better than small PR agencies)

Cons

Long hours, lot of pressure, work can be difficult depending on your line manager, takes a long time to be promoted, an ever-growing amount of tasks to do, "please clients no matter what" mindset which can be very tiring and frustrating on the longer term.

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.
