Politics and Favoritism Abundant

Pros

Probably the smartest and best UX people in the business. Creative is OK, but not necessarily groundbreaking. In NYC it's recognized as one of the "best" agencies. Reporter is the best time/budget management tool in the industry.

Cons

It's a highly political environment. If you're not liked by or "friends" with the right people from the start, you will never touch a worthwhile piece of work. Hours are unsustainable. Expectations placed on Account and Production are highly unrealistic. Client relationships are hostile and it's considered normal to be lashed out at on a regular basis. There is no cross utilization between teams, you only work within the group that you're assigned to. If your group director doesn't like you, you work on nothing until you're fired.

More traditional and silo'd now than expected

Pros

Holds some of the top thinkers and makers in the industry, and the volume and prestige if the client base is phenomenal. Mucho opportunity there.

Cons

Agency resources, people, and services are not very well connected within the agency, despite the agency's outward story to clients and to staff on this point. Much of the magic inherent in creative is connecting - the work, the people, the tools, the celebration.
