Extremely long hours, working nights and weekends to get stuff done. There is no work-life balance. Way underpaid for the amount of hours put in. Everyone is burnt out at the age of 26. If you have the option, don’t work here!

I truly hope you'll reach out to your local HR person to discuss your workload. While our industry can produce long hours, we try to make sure employees are able to find the right balance throughout their weeks and months to keep things reasonable. I hope you'll give us the opportunity to look into your situation. 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.
