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.

Pros

Like most hold co's - its all dependent on your team, but the people on my team are genuinely kind and smart folks. Plus its Publicis owned, so business is actively being won

Cons

Classic agency stuff, overworked with many 50+ hour weeks. Publicis' current model is to understaff instead of layoff, so basically every team could use another person. Client has a ton of issues which is not on Digitas at all but does impact the experience.
