Pros

Good exposure and learning opportunities depending on the account and team.

Cons

Culture can feel cliqueish and political despite claims of having “no politics” and being "flat". Some managers tend to micromanage heavily without room for flexibility and treat the team like a military camp; favouritism can be quite apparent, and gossip behind colleagues’ backs is common, especially during leave periods or team conflicts. The environment can feel tense and not always genuinely supportive. Managers have no clue how to manage difficult clients, and push it onto the juniors for not making their lofty promises work.
