Pros

- Some really great clients - Decent holiday benefits (start on 20 days holiday (rising to 25) + 1/2 day around bank holidays + days off between Xmas and New Year + Birthday day - Smart and innovative colleagues - Good training

Cons

- The pay for junior staff is really poor - People can be overlooked for promotion as MDs are just so busy and don't get much time to interact with junior staff - The hours are long - which would be much more palatable if they pay was better - The tasks can be thankless, boring and monotonousness for junior staff

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.
