Pros

You can get a lot of Edelman, if you choose, to especially to develop your own careers and new skill sets.

Cons

Usually not interested in ideas outside of the status quo, a lot of back patting and self-congratulatory talk, not a lot willingness to think outside the box despite what they think. Focus is on upper level employees.

Great clients. Great people to work with.

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.
