Pros

Big clients. Very relaxed atmosphere. Very flexible working hours and able to work from home when needed and agreed with PMs.

Cons

Up to 2 years ago it used to be the best digital agency in Shoreditch but now that several other agencies are doing much better and are also cheaper, LBi is no longer shining. Quality software is not always achieved because of predominant presence of careless contractors, so there is no continuity in approaches and knowledge. Technology directors and head of department are too often preferring their "old friends" when it's up to promotions. 2 months notice period sucks.

Pros

Like most hold co's - its all dependent on your team, but the people on my team are genuinely kind and smart folks. Plus its Publicis owned, so business is actively being won

Cons

Classic agency stuff, overworked with many 50+ hour weeks. Publicis' current model is to understaff instead of layoff, so basically every team could use another person. Client has a ton of issues which is not on Digitas at all but does impact the experience.
