Pros
The work? Clients, perhaps?
Cons
I'm not angry or jaded, I just wouldn't work for them again. Not just from my experience, dozens of people I spoke with all felt like we were disparate, floating silos with no actual connection. In fairness, maybe things are different now that publicis.sapient seems to be the final resting place of the amalgam of Razorfish, Sapient and others. Maybe the sense that you're never told the truth no longer exists. Maybe when you do speak with parts of leadership you no longer get the sense that you're just another meeting on their calendar. I can't speak to what this new company is except that they're ultimately owned by bankers in France who have shareholders. At the merger of Sapient and Razorfish, Sapient leadership touted their strength by pointing to their stability at the top, with many being with Sapient for 15+ years--long-timers. It was a relief to think stability at the top would help solve many of the issues we had as we moved toward building this new company. It was my experience that the measure of Sapient's leadership longevity was, perhaps, actually the measure of how well that group was able to insulate themselves --or, perhaps better stated-- how well they were able to best serve Puclicis. My belief, and I certainly could be wrong, is that P.S will ultimately become a company of mostly directors off-shoring as much of the work to India as possible. Small, lean, director-level US teams curating work from afar. There will certainly be exceptions but this is what it looked like to me when I left, late 2018: off-shore everything but the kitchen sink.
