Pros

Work culture is supportive, encouraging, great place to learn. Great coworkers and dynamic environment. Very healthy work life balance compared to most finance jobs

Cons

The reward aspect is seriously lacking for entry level finance positions. Severely undervalued and paid compared to other agencies. Growth within the company also takes much longer to progress than other companies or agencies. Lots of boomerangs as people leave to other agencies in order to progress their career but come back once they are senior enough to have decent pay.

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.
