Pros

Breakfast provided. Diverse portfolio of clients. Great employees. They hire attractive women.

Cons

Unreasonable expectations. They will work you to the bone. Acquiring new business is a large portion of work and is tough. Senior management waits till the last minute.

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.
