Pros

I enjoy the people with whom I work. It has a good portfolio of clients and a strong network across the globe. It also is a private firm, which means it has more flexibility than many of the other PR behemoths across the globe. They push work-life balance, on paper at least. Also, we have a pretty good softball team.

Cons

It is a big PR firm, which means that it is often rigid and the opportunity to advance is dependent upon your years of experience. The experience also varies heavily on your accounts, although this may be the case anywhere.

Pros

Great clients. Great people to work with.

Cons

Office politics. Silly things that were sold to the client that just did not make sense.

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.
