Pros

Well-known enterprise and Fortune 100 clients, a well developed digital business unit for the advertising industry, good benefits, engaging work.

Cons

Chaotic management that didn't always 'get' what it takes to create successful digital initiatives and was often indifferent to the implications of 'shorting' schedules, a general and pervasive indifference to career growth, a stagnant corporate culture. It was commonplace for reviews and salary increases to take several years. Note that I left in 2007, so some things may have changed.
