Pros

The smartest people in the business. Deep resources to continually learn best practices. Active commitment to delivering quality.

Cons

It is a driven culture. Good is never enough, there's always a push for great. This is exhilarating and important competitively, but is only a fitting environment for the hungry and driven.

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.
