Pros

Open-door policy for most of the management; almost everyone was easy to access and talk to Great mobility; I worked from multiple offices and my managers supported my moves Interesting work and clients; you get to work on top brands that move markets

Cons

Long hours; there's an expectation that you can't leave until 6pm in most locations Low pay; salary starts low but does build quickly

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.
