Pros

Amazing amount of experience and exposure developed over short period of time

Cons

Overworked, underpaid. Only once ever got any sort of bonus, which was a $50 Nordstrom gift card.

I'm glad that you got great exposure and experience while you were here; I think that's the core "reward" of working here. I don't agree with you about how we value employees but I acknowledge that if you felt that way, something(s) could have gone better and I'm sorry for that. Thanks for your feedback and best of luck. Maria O'Keeffe, US Chief Talent Officer

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.
