Pros
There aren't many uber-intelligent people in this industry as a whole, but many of them are at Digitas. Media and Strategy & Analytics teams work together unusually closely and do incredibly sophisticated work, especially in performance marketing. Media dollars are actually spent based on real data and analysis, rather than arbitrarily as is the case at many agencies.
Cons
1) Not enough opportunity for movement (both lateral and vertical). Promotions were based on (long) time periods/cycles rather than aptitude. 2) Management is very inconsistent. I've had the best and worst managers I've ever had there, and it makes all the difference.
