Pros

Extremely friendly, dynamic and entrepreneurial environment. Competitive pay, lots of perks like breakfast, fruit, thirsty Thursdays and ice cream Fridays. How you behave is a part of the evaluation so jerks don't last too long. They also encourage - but do not always follow - a reasonable life-work balance. Work from home is also a consistent possibility to deal with this.

Cons

Lots of hours at the behest of not-so-friendly dysfunctional clients. Weekend and holiday work possible.

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.
