Pros

Unlimited PTO (still tracked and lots of hoops to jump through)

Cons

Top-level management doesn't give AF about anyone. Reviews are never on time. Barely any raises or promotions for US creatives in the last 3-4 years. Outsourcing roles. Regular layoffs. Clients are turned off by Sir Martin and Monks' less than favorable public image (and financial status), partly due to their unsavory business practices.
