Pros

Sometimes, there can be exciting projects to work on. Some teams are really great to work with.

Cons

The environment is very cliquey and similar to some of the reviews here, managers / senior leadership talking down to you is common practice. Absolutely no work life balance, in order to rise to the "top" you have to sacrifice your mental & physical health. It is not worth it. Also, their attempts at diversity & inclusion is a joke and performative at best.

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.
