Pros

My clients are all top tier, which makes the long hours, tough deadlines, demanding clients easier to deal with Good pay if you can advocate for yourself

Cons

Very fast paced with not a lot of time to look at processes and see where issues are If you require positive feedback, it may not come With a lot of turnover, you can expect to take on a lot more than you signed up for if you stick around over a year. Burnout is inevitable

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.
