Pros

Salaries can be competitive for senior people. some smart people in digital unit. Not much else good to say.

Cons

This is NOT a meritocracy. This is a place that thrives on suck-ups and the people who love them. The leadership is poor, very unfamiliar with basic business needs of their clients, defaults to fear and loathing as their management style. This is the culture nurtured from the top, especially the U.S. chief.
