Pros

Great people. Interesting projects. Big name clients. I like that I get to work on a variety of projects. I have gotten to learn a lot from working on a wide variety of projects. Be careful about getting type cast. The free food is awesome.

Cons

Late hours. Crazy deadlines. Project managers don't always know what they are doing. Freelancers currently having to go home or come in late if they don't have 100 % billable hours. There IS some downtime on projects that happens.

Pros

Great people, interesting work, and a laid-back and flexible atmosphere make this a great place to start a career. Coworkers encourage growth and development, and develop bonds that extend far beyond the office. Work is challenging but extremely rewarding, and the amount of client interaction is extraordinary - even at entry-level positions.

Cons

Compensation is reasonable, but sometimes not worth the long hours during hectic weeks. The training and on-boarding process for new employees seriously lacks structure, and much of the learning is done through questions and first-hand experience.

Pros

1. Fun, attractive co-workers -Regardless of which office you work in, Digitas is loaded with young, attractive co-workers. Drinks after work are not uncommon and strong friendships are made, as you work well into the night. 2. Develop a skill set other companies want -When the time comes to leave Digitas, you'll have no problem finding another job. Other employers love the Digitas pedigree and the network you establish will benefit you for years to come. 3. Interesting brands -GM and Amex are the two beasts in the Digitas world. Both accounts are very well established and you can strengthen your skill set as your slowly, ever so slowly climb up the ladder.

Cons

1. GDP promo process is for the birds -Regardless of what you do, or how hard you work, Big Daddy Glenn wants people to sit in a position for at least 2, often 3 years. 2. Hours are long -Client service is just that, you are there to serve the client. That often requires staying late to hit very hard deadlines and doing the work of more then one employee. 3. Tough to switch brands -There is so much to learn at Digitas you should try and touch as many accounts as possible. Each account is run differently, so if you can bounce around, you'll be more marketable when you leave.
