Pros

+ NY office redesign was needed and is very nice + Global organization means you get to meet some nice folks along the way

Cons

- Grossly underpaid for the work I do - Chaotic teams, lots of swirl - Family run business - Loyalty means nothing, folks who have been around for ages have been laid off in the past - Long hours and lots of team swirl

Pros

I worked with some of the brightest and best people in the business. Most of them are no longer with the company. Some good clients, and nice office space.

Cons

Very limited opportunities for growth. During my time they reduced promotions to only once a year, and made many excuses for promoting as few people as possible (despite becoming the first "$1B" agency at that time). Morale was extremely low. People were forced to come into an office with nobody they actually worked with. Common to be passed from manager to manager. At one point I had 6+ managers within a 10-month span.
