Pros

Great clients and colleagues. Sharpest minds and skills being put to the test constantly. Projects vary between long term digital products and services to shorter term campaigns and digital objects. I've learnt a lot by collaborating with the best visual designers, copywriters, developers and other talented people here.

Cons

Its a lot of hard work and often focussed solely on the development side of work. You'll have to be very lucky to join a project right from the earliest concept phase and see it through till the end.

Pros

Big name, Big clients, talented people, decent pay upon coming in

Cons

This company is far to big. For all the good things R/GA offers (clients, talent, name) they have a sprinkle of bad that ruins it. For every talented designer there are 5 that are just competent but have egos that will knock you on your back. Beyond this the organization is AMAZINGLY political and full of drama. Give it a year, give it a month, give it a week in the end you'll see that its just like every other large agency. It'll chew you up and spit you out and leave you with a great name for your resume........

Pros

Pay is good. Benefits are decent. Usually not asked to work insane hours. Lots of perks around the office and at offsite get-togethers. Easy going atmosphere. Managers aren't running around yelling and cursing at people. Produce high quality work. Get to work with major industry leading clients and often cutting edge projects.

Cons

A little disorganized at times. Some drama kings/queens who act like life/work is always in crisis. Creative folks can be a bit egotistical and emotional. Enormous focus on selling, selling, selling more work (part of regular agency life I guess). A little too big for their britches, in that many people internally are slow to realize that the rest of the industry is fast catching up to them in competency and quality.
