Pros

Global agency with enormous scale, world renowned clients, award-winning campaigns and work, and international opportunities. Great place to get to know the industry.

Cons

Progression can be limited based on department and teams. Rewards and benefits could be better considering the global scale of the company and its overall revenue year on year.

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.
