Pros

There are actually some very talented people that work here, seek them out and learn from them. The benefits package is solid, and the holiday schedule is unrivaled. Free bagels on Friday's don't hurt either.

Cons

Structurally, Digitas still operates as an account-led direct marketing agency. Since the majority of what's done here now is digital, getting even the simplest things produced is an absolute nightmare. Say goodbye to creative integrity and craft - its all about getting stuff out the door as fast as possible. This is also by far the most politicized work environment I have ever spent time in.

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.
