Pros

- Big name clients - Some really smart and nice people - You can work at home 2 x a week

Cons

- Company is lacking an identity at the moment; seems distracted by opaque but marketable "methodologies" at the expense of figuring out what its place really is in the world - Lack of transparency, particularly around Omnicom austerity measures (raises and promotions have been frozen for 8 months) - Wildly different cultures and expectations between portfolios and disciplines make for uneven work products from the same office (and sometimes from the same portfolio) - Very top heavy organization; you will be doing the role of junior employees because there are no junior employees

Pros

-Fun, smart people -Big name clients and (some) interesting projects -Decent work-life balance (but this is not true for everyone/ every role)

Cons

-Lots of change and many rounds of layoffs in the last year+ -Many big-egoed senior leaders who are difficult to work with and do not care about team's development -Projects can become very rinse and repeat; ultimately most clients have the same fundamental brand problems -Recent austerity measures due to IPG acquisition + internal politics = VERY slow to promote people -Once you reach a certain level, your growth maxes out unless you are buddies with the CEO and able to get into a global leadership position -Mandated 3 days/week in-office for ALL employees regardless of role, situation, or location
