      Pros

      - work on amazing accounts - learn a ton

      Cons

      - extreme gender pay gap for junior employees in the SF office. When confronted, senior management and HR admitted they knew about the pay differences for junior men and women, but they said there was nothing they could do about it. - no consequences for reported sexual misconduct by an SVP - like any business that runs on billable hours, junior employees are worked to the bone as soon as they are no longer eligible to receive overtime pay. - racist hiring, firing, and promotion practices. not a welcoming environment for people of color.

      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.
