Pros

The people, the leadership team and human resources leadership in D.C., the fact that most of the leaders care about employees, listen to employees and make it a pleasure to come to work every day. There's also a good client service focus, as there should be. Quality work is done and demanded. People are held accountable for behaviors for the most part.

Cons

Some of the leaders outside of the DC office are not always honest and collaborative. There is far too much politics and back-stabbing.

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.
