Pros

It's the pre-eminent thought leader in its industry. It is an innovative, flexible and generous agency. Its relatively flattened hierarchy promotes communication and creativity from all levels.

Cons

I'm seriously having trouble coming up with something general and accurate. I mean, it's an intense job -- it's bound to take up considerable hours of the day, to involve periods of intense effort that do not result in a fruitful outcome, to butting heads with forceful, opinionated colleagues, etc. That would be the same at any company where growth and passion are integral components.

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.
