Pros

- strong account management and planning culture - good international clinet roster so strong possibilities to learn good marketing practice (particularly in FMCG) - nice team environment, people support each other more than in many other ad agencies

Cons

- location in West Kensington not ideal - creative work is mixed at best, at least from the London office - limited opportunities to move wtihin the network - like many ad agencies - at a senior level relatively political, though this doesn't impact so much lower down the organisation

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).
