Pros
The people are great. Really smart, hard working and fun.
Cons
So many BUs are so severely understaffed it would be laughable if it didn't make you want to cry. After the Synovate acquisition, so many positions were cut. And because of the incredible disorganization and poor morale that time, even more people left willingly. Open positions were not filled (and still rarely are) due to a poor financial outlook - "do more with less" is the mantra. So now they've all got skeleton crews, doing the work of a fully staffed BU - extremely long hours, extremely high expectations, people doing crossover work that they aren't necessarily qualified to do, and no recognition or reward - even in the form of some time off. It's just sad.
