Pros

GREAT coworkers. The company knows how to find friendly and intelligent people who help you get the job done. There are a lot of projects one can work on to improve knowledge in one's given field. A great work environment for employees. The company does find ways to put together outside entertainment to keep the work/life balance in check. This is also a company that is excellent at keeping their employees updated with what is happening. Work from home is very acceptable with mgmt, which is a great help to those with families!

Cons

Cliq's are for high school, not corporations. Company can sometimes be reactive to problems instead of proactive. Mgmt needs to find a way to consolidate meetings. Many lengthy meetings cause employees to stay late in order to catch up on work.

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.
