Pros

Good office location, interesting clients, pay is better than other agencies in the area, relatively nice co workers.

Cons

Can have that hyper competitive feel that you'll find in most agencies. If you aren't a more dominating personality, you could easily be walked over.

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.
