      Pros

      Exposed to top companies/clients/accounts, both national and international. Work with really smart, talented and driven people. You will learn a lot if you set yourself to it -- no one will baby you, this is the real world. Make good connections! Take advantage of "coffee dates." If you don't get promoted, more than likely someone there will know someone else who might be willing to hire you. Become good friends with the HR peeps -- they can help. Don't treat interns badly, they might end up being your coworkers soon.

      Cons

      Long, long, long hours for the compensation. Don't expect to sit around and leave when you're supposed to. Don't not expected to get promoted just because people like you and you are a talented, hard worker, it really just depends on the business at time.

      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.
