Pros

When you're starting your career in PR or communications, there isn't a better place to be for meeting others in your shoes, finding mentoring opportunities and getting connected with others in the industry. The company is great about offering internal education and growth opportunities to young professionals, and really invests a lot in making sure they've got the best of the best as far as workforce goes.

Cons

Very hierarchical, and very political. If you don't play the game it's wisest just to get out.

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.
