Pros

Huge name recognition in the industry. Cool client accounts. If you have a decent supervisor you can go far.

Cons

What the headline says. There's a lot of room to grow but the sheer size of the company makes it sometimes difficult to cut through the red tape and be recognized for contributions/get opportunities to grow on the bigger accounts

Great clients. Great people to work with.

Office politics. Silly things that were sold to the client that just did not make sense.

Pros

I worked with some of the brightest and best people in the business. Most of them are no longer with the company. Some good clients, and nice office space.

Cons

Very limited opportunities for growth. During my time they reduced promotions to only once a year, and made many excuses for promoting as few people as possible (despite becoming the first "$1B" agency at that time). Morale was extremely low. People were forced to come into an office with nobody they actually worked with. Common to be passed from manager to manager. At one point I had 6+ managers within a 10-month span.
