Pros

World wide offices COULD lead to transfers over-seas. Better rates to offer clients for third-party tools and partnerships, name recognition

Cons

top-heavy management structure with too many VPs and SVPs. Promotions and raises seem politically/relationship based and disconnected from merit. Feedback from the lower-ranking staff do not seem to affect change, even when shared by many. High turnover from the "do-ers" who get frustrated with seeing all the "inner circle" move up year after year.

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.
