Pros

Great people, decent culture. Top-notch benefits: 19+ PTO, 16+ Holidays, Health and Wellness Stipend, tons of food and swag, etc. Pays well (will pay more to keep talent around).

Cons

Ask anyone that works here how they like it and I guarantee they'll say, "I love the people. The benefits are great. The work's not great." People can be cold at first, but hey it's New York. Mediocre creative work. Sweatshop. All talk with nothing to show for it. Lacks mentorship for juniors. Unwilling to invest in current employees for advancement/growth. Won't let employees wear multiple hats. Whipped by their biggest clients. Senior leadership that's been around for 10+ years are delusional and stuck.

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.
