Pros

Ahead of the curve in new technologies and the direction the industry is taking. A place you can be proud to work -- high profile clients and great work; a place you can shine. Easy access to senior management. Work/life balance varies but is not unlike any other agency. In-house training is important and available to all employees at all levels. Competitive compensation. As an independent agency without stockholders to consider, they are willing to do investment spending on new offerings to keep themselves cutting edge.

Cons

Very little communication within the agency as a whole. You know what's happening in your practice area but not in others. Not a place for everyone: to be successful you need to be aggressive.

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.
