Pros

Provides lots of avenues to explore your career, easy to move around within the company, and provides employees with consistent learning opportunities to perfect what we do.

Cons

Politics determine your title more than merit does. If you know the right people, your career will go far. If you are just good at what you do, you may get overlooked.

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.
