Pros

Michael Berland is a high-energy, extremely accomplished go-getter and you're sure to succeed in credentials after meeting him. It's a highly sought after company to work for, and you will definitely grow.

Cons

Pay is abysmal and there are long hours. Some employees are left in the dark, and senior management forgets that many employees exist and they fall through the cracks.

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.
