Its exciting to have the opportunity to work in a global company where you share experiences with offices from all around the world. The clients are very good.

Cons

Low salaries, excessive hours, lack of skills among top leaders, defective 360 review process, company does not pay much attention to juniors or interns and make their development slower.

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.
