Pros

Great collection of talent in both senior ranks and junior ranks. No ideas are bad ideas; very open environment to speak your mind and let your voice be heard. If egos are present, they are not out in the open; people work together to get the job done as a team. The company consistently attracts, retains and wins big name clients.

Cons

The hours can be long at times, especially for the compensation. Sometimes things can feel a bit corporate, as people get tied to their desks and their personal work. Creativity and improvisation are always welcome for discussion, but are often not actualized due to strict adherence to previously client-approved plans.

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.
