Pros
You develop a great understanding of PR/communication fundamentals and really hone your attention to detail. Upper management is smart, resourceful, and willing to share insights.
Cons
Pay was not the best, especially for the Bay Area.

Thanks for your review! It's always nice to see our priorities pay off with positive employee experiences. Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director, US HR
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.
