Pros

The almost-free coffee bar. Young, friendly people. Can't think of much else

Cons

Expect to put in anywhere from 60-75 hours/week. Mostly mind-numbing work. Don't fall for the 9 Personal Days & 3 Vacation Weeks spiel. You'll be working those off within a couple of months . (Just calculate the hours you put in). Kiss your personal life goodbye. There's zero work-life balance. Tip: Join on the salary you expect to get 3 years from now. There's no increments, bonuses or much else. Except, lots of beer so you're too drunk to think about these things. Join only if you're fresh out of college and can't get a job anywhere else

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.
