Pros

Digitas looks good on paper. It has a great plan on how people would be able to grow in the organization. They have a program for people who "fail" and instead of just cutting people off they give them a second chance to prove themselves. They have a policy of 2 weeks off, on top of vacation, for fathers at the birth or adoption of a child.

Cons

It is as usual, it is more important to look good politically than actually perform a good job with the clients. All too often it was proven that is was more important to satisfy marketing's (aka account at all other agenies) conceived demands than to push back if there were demands that we wholly unreasonable. The hypocrisy about this in the ranks of managers is staggering. They tell you one thing initially but in the end marketing is king and technology is nothing. It is showing especially that there are 1 SVP of technology in the leadership while there are innumerable numbers of SVPs of marketing and creative.

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.
