Pros

Digitas is a great place to work in terms of learning a lot about digital marketing. Digitas is also a well known name in the Boston area so you can leave after a few years and likely get a great job elsewhere. Digitas does recognize achievements and promote from within but it is very political & highly competitive. Digitas respects your life and gives tons of benefits including 8 sick days per year on top of vacation. Benefits are great and publicis does a great job managing these benefits. Overall, it feels like digitas respects that you are a person and gives you a great place to come everyday

Cons

I think the large nature is hard to sometimes navigate. It is also highly competitive. Career opportunities are available, but only if you are willing to go that extra mile and navigate through the political webs. You must get to know senior management on top of going to events and making sure you do your job at 110%. This can eat up your life just to make sure that you get noticed. Communication is sometimes a bit unclear as you get stuck in a bubble that encompasses your account and nothing else. Overall, digitas is still a good place to work.

Pros

The hours are mostly 9-5:30 if you work hard to keep it that way. People are overall very smart and take pride in the work they do. The company does a good job having company events that are fun. I really enjoy the summer outing, Follies (our version of a talent show), halloween and holiday parties. The company is also very supportive when you need to take time off for family. It is not looked down upon if you need to work for home because you need to take care of something. Also we get summer fridays which is nice.

Cons

The compensation isn't great when you have been working there for a while. You have to leave and come back to make the best money for your level. Also, at times I feel that not everyone takes the same amount of accountability for their work. We are also a very meeting heavy culture. It doesn't help to be in meetings all day when you are trying to get your work done. Additionally, we send a lot of emails. People are not as likely to have face to face meetings. It is hard to manage your time at work when you are bombarded with emails and meeting requests.

Pros

The clients are top notch, and the people who work there are rock stars. Everyone seems to be on the same page and working towards the same goals, and are always driven. Selfishness is not something that people are about. Helping others to get the job done - whether working late or doing something that's not necessarily "in your job description" - is amazing. Plus the office in Chicago is really cool. There are great views of Lake Michigan and Michigan Avenue. Plus the location of the office is perfect...you can walk anywhere in the city within a few minutes.

Cons

Since everyone who works there is really good at their job you get some people who are a little full of themselves, but that is few and far between. Also, you're going to work really hard everyday and will be thinking on how to make everything that is being done better - so you always have to be on your toes, up on industry best practices, looking for cutting edge technology and always being one step ahead of other agencies. At DTAS, it's not just getting things done and out the door, it's about thinking things through and always being the best.
