Pros

Some really nice people below management level

Cons

Everything. They simply don't care for their employees. It's always just about productivity rates, chargeability, timesheets and process. This company should not call itself a creative agency. It's a business consultancy and a bad one at that. Profit over people all the way. All of the above is why they have just announced they are winding down their UK operation. Not surprised at all. Completely mis-managed operation.

Pros

People, Mission, Culture, Technology, Remote. You work on projects and technologies that actually impact and improves the day to day lives of people around you, the community and the Country

Cons

Pay, No much room for upward mobility. If you are a high performer, you'll struggle as the structure rewards years spent in the company vs level of expertise or experience.
