Pros

The holiday allowance is decent

Cons

It’s cliche that management think pizza lunches and a limited bar budget can make up for limited promotions (no budget), no morale and no culture (but there is the “cool” office to make up for it). Oh and mandatory attendance in an office that doesn’t have enough desks to accommodate staff so.

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.
