Pros

Young, fun and friendly culture. Great place for people in the PR industry.

Cons

Not all financial analysts here get to do financial analysis because the role involves being a business manager (this might be a pro for some). There are areas of improvement (finance and accounting processes, and training) but no one to drive change.

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.
