Pros

I'm constantly surrounded by the most brilliant minds in the public relations space and I've learned more than I ever have at any other company I've worked for, by far.

Cons

Leadership recently laid off 5% of our workforce, most of which are senior leaders whom were expensive to retain but brought in business and were fully utilized. In addition, while the company didn't meet targets last year overall, the areas of the business that met or exceeded targets didn't get their bonus this year which feels incredibly short sighted.

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.
