Pros

Great clients and attractitve brand name

Cons

Little to no career path. 90% of the business they win is on their name alone, but I rarely ever saw any innovative thinking. Human resources dept doesn't "get it." They cozy up to the old boy network and worry too much about what very junior staff think.

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.
