Pros

Impressive client roster, private firm, opportunity for career growth and advancement, strong team atmosphere, industry accolades, large network of knowledge sharing and for relocation, great peer-set to learn from

Cons

Senior staff is hands-off at times and unwilling to jump in and help. Salaries are always under industry average and the company knows it. Morale is low due to mismanagement at top. Nepotism is a dirty word, but is a frequent policy. A lot of politics to get anything done.

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.
