Pros

Beer Fridays, work/life balance, casual dress,

Cons

Overwork/underpaid, When you lose someone, instead of hiring a replacement, work is given to a curent employee. Actual direction from Publicis is when two people leave/get fired, only one is hired to replace. Too many chiefs, not enough indians. People in higher positions (not even that senior) feel they should pass the buck on work that in all actually is theirs.

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.
