Pros

Best clients, big thinkers, global network, great colleagues, supportive environment. A great employer.

Cons

Especially at the lower levels team members are over loaded with work, with very high expectations and long hours. Some entrenched senior leaders are not as valuable as they think they are.

Pros

Amazing clients, exposure to different types of work, ability to try new things and explore career opportunities. Great for junior staff who are unsure of what they want to do.

Cons

Mediocre management. Extremely high turnover. Most colleagues 'don't have time for you' or are too opportunistic to care - a trade-off of the agency world. There are some really great people who leave to go elsewhere because they aren't valued.
