Pros

Great network of very smart people Opportunity to work with some of the largest brands/companies globally

Cons

Salaries can be low if you move up internally - lots of boomerangs because they prioritize external hires for higher pay. In the 3 years I have been management-bonus eligible it’s never paid out, and there have been layoffs 5 out of 6 years in my tenure here.

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.
