Pros

Strong ethics, values and entrepreneurial spirit, family run company, amazing talent and support, great opportunities for professional development, a variety of career paths

Cons

My only criticism every year is the size of the annual merit raises. They are tiny. The bonus program is great, but as you rise in the ranks, you're likely to stay at one level for several years, and it doesn't seem right that strong performances are not rewarded monetarily. I also think it can hurt us with retention.

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.
