Pros

- some nice people - hardworking interns - fancy parties - nice office + great location - name looks good on resume

Cons

- extreme favouritism. - lack of training opportunities. - leadership is the worst. it's a joke really, especially since it's very much an 'every man for himself type vibe'. - low pay and high expectations. overtime + weekends are expected. - lack of diversity. - lots of gossip + toxic culture. extremely high turnover.

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.
