Pros
Work alongside some of the best in the business. Working there helped my career from understanding how to manage projects for a publicly traded company, how to work on large scale projects and the credibility of Razorfish on my resume has opened the door for other opportunities. Compensation high.
Cons
At the time I was there, management kept ineffective people in their positions far too long, often causing the talented people who actually do the work to leave the company. They didn't know who they were, were they consulting or an interactive agency. Also some of the people at senior level positions wouldn't be in their roles at any other agency. Skewed sense of what constitutes management skills.
Advice to Senior Management
Keep the folks doing the work happy and not on the next acquisition. Constant state of flux doesn't keep people confident that the company is settled.
