Pros

Company is a big name in the ad world. Opportunities to transfer to other agencies.

Cons

No morale or company culture left. As soon as the company was bought by Publicis, everything changed. It's 100% corporate now with no regard for the employees. Lower level employees are under appreciated and overworked for minimal pay. Meanwhile the overpaid VPs, many of whom are relics from the pre-web days, don't seem to know what they're doing, if anything. If you're a VP or higher, it's almost impossible to get fired regardless of ineptitude.

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.
