Pros

Interesting projects and clients. Opportunities for quick growth. Really smart people. Everyone’s experience is different. Some teams are incredible and others are really terrible.

Cons

Social leadership is a mess and doesn’t value employees and their time, work, ideas. Poor management, big egos, managers don’t listen, not good place to work for people of color, lots of self-congratulation but not much critical reflection.

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.
