Pros

The location and annual volunteer day the entire company participates in. Digitas is very generous with their staff parties as well. Pay is not too bad.

Cons

Very "he said/she said" place. Depending on your employment level ( I was admin ) - you are treated very differently. Digitas is known to fire their employees without formal warnings. They fired an employee 2 weeks before Christmas! Heartless. Moreover, it is very important that this company better train their managers. There is a training department in the education dept which was pretty decent - but the VP of that department lacked focus. I believe she now works in HR. If so, I would highly advise for this company to train these exact managers and HR reps. It is unfair to treat employees the way they do. Asking them to work sometimes 9 hours a day. Although, the overtime pay isn't half bad.

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.
