Pros

- Good work / life balance - Family owned (private) - Good office locations - Global - Potential for more junior levels to work in another office anywhere around the world for one year through annual, organized program

Cons

- Core as PR company, so innovating, integrating and leveraging expertise across the network is convoluted and inconsistent - Not many real "stars" to collaborate with to make the work better - Creative "chops" are spotty - Bay Area leadership is iffy at best (was better) - cliques

Pros

Culture, large agency with resources, opportunities for learning and development- outside speakers

Cons

No process for training and onboarding, managers are so busy and spread too thin they aren't around to give you what you need, very cut throat culture, everyone is competing to get to the top, very judgmental / not much support
