Pros

I get to work with many smart and creative people and work on a variety of clients. The global network is an asset, both for information and for the potential of transferring.

Cons

It's an agency, and they don't hire until we win the work so there are times when it's very busy.

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.
