Pros

You will work with some of the best people and you’ll boost your network.

Cons

24/7 work. Constant, stressful environment. If you work on the account team - you essentially will be doing 7 full-time jobs including sales rep, comm expert, pr, data analyst, accountant, and creative - and you’ll be doing it for 5+ different companies/accounts. On top of your bombarding day-to-day, you will be forced to take on new business that you cannot bill for - so it doesn’t help with your utilization - essentially ensuring they work you to death. If you value anything outside of work, stay away from this place.

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.
