Pros

Talented colleagues who are willing to nurture and train junior talent. The company is broadly considered one of the best in the business. Strong reputation externally means that you can build your network. And you do feel empowered to be creative in your work, which is important. A strong culture permeates through of the importance of acting like an entrepreneur, doing the right thing, and doing great work.

Cons

Strict account team hierarchies means that good staff at junior levels aren't always given extensive responsibility. Relatively rigid promotion cycles.

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.
