Pros

- Very varied projects, great to build up a portfolio if you are a designer/developer - Sociable bunch, with a weekly team lunch outing. Generally quite nice people. - They do hire from within for managerial or director positions - Young and fresh people. Average age is probably 26 - Good salaries.

Cons

- Chaotic, unhealthy and disorganised working environment with lots of swearing, ranting and passive aggression. Really not for everyone. - Previous reviews are accurate in saying that people are used as overused and dispensable tools. Sweatshop attitude. - Lack of progress meetings, leaving people uncertain of how they are performing and on edge about their job security

Pros

The people and talent really make this business what it is. Some of the best, brightest, and kindest in the industry.

Cons

All of the negatives of being a part of a "big" agency with little (or none) the benefits. The work. Tight timeframes, limited scope for agility, lack of long-term strategy, and inability to influence trajectory or organisational change. Being a specialist service as part of a larger conglomerate often ends up simply becoming a vendor, inheriting all of the risk with none of the reward.
