Pros

- great if you are relatively junior and want to learn about brands and businesses, a resume builder - lots of free food - smart, fun co-workers

Cons

- short-term focus on dollars, not client satisfaction or investment - leaders trip over themselves behind closed doors, very political - promotions if you're loud and self-promoting and if the CEO likes you, not if you have worked hard and earned it - CEO doesn't really run the company, Finance does

Pros

-Fun, smart people -Big name clients and (some) interesting projects -Decent work-life balance (but this is not true for everyone/ every role)

Cons

-Lots of change and many rounds of layoffs in the last year+ -Many big-egoed senior leaders who are difficult to work with and do not care about team's development -Projects can become very rinse and repeat; ultimately most clients have the same fundamental brand problems -Recent austerity measures due to IPG acquisition + internal politics = VERY slow to promote people -Once you reach a certain level, your growth maxes out unless you are buddies with the CEO and able to get into a global leadership position -Mandated 3 days/week in-office for ALL employees regardless of role, situation, or location
