Pros

Opportunity to work with large brands across different industries, flexibility, learning and growth opportunities

Cons

Sales-driven culture that focuses only revenue regardless of how it is obtained. Little to no collaboration as a result of a constant pursuit of new revenue. This pits departments and employees against each other.

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.
