Pros

The company is the largest PR agency in the world and has systems in place to leverage global talent and ideas. The company is independent which can accelerate decision making. There are a wide range of practice areas to participate in and the company has an entrepreneurial culture.

Cons

You need to be a good people person to work with such a diverse talent and personality base, but generally everyone has aligned goals, just need to find the best way to support and draw from your colleagues.

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.
