Pros

There's free pizza sometimes sitting outside of meeting rooms.

Cons

Far too many cooks. Far too many lawyers. And now the holding company, Publicis, is squeezing the agency for EVERY single penny it can get, with no benefit to the agency. As a result, the culture is steadily erasing.

Pros

At the time, unmatched creative depending on team. Plenty of kind folks, most of which I gather are no longer there. Opportunity to work on bigger briefs, straddle new accounts, etc. based on your level on ambition. Pave your own way.

Cons

Many. Frozen promo cycles even after being formally recommended. No merit increase after year one. CCO at the time ignored internal issues and instead continually offered up the proverbial Kool-Aid. Long hours, like getting teams messages/requests at 10pm for a morning deadline. Plenty of ego and pressure to go around (depending on your team).
