Pros

-paid well -company has a great reputation which helps a lot with your career -good insight and experience into business marketing techniques

Cons

-a lot of big egos, favoritism. -management imagines they are still a cool small start-up company and are oblivious to the employees who do the work which make the company successful. they seem to sometimes resent newer employees for ruining their small,cool,rebel self-image yet are happy to reap the benefits of running a large company -didn't keep promises. I volunteered to do extra work in exchange to be put on a better project, got a pat on the back, and then they promptly forgot about me - you don't get any credit for doing good work unless you are senior. however you can also easily slack off and you won't get fired.

Pros

Great work/life balance Compensation is good, but negotiate from the beginning, raises aren't great Good Benefit packages Quality of people are good, there are some really smart people there, (also balanced out by some not so smart people) Your experience will depend on your account, agency is completely split up by account.

Cons

Your experience will totally depend on the account you work on, the agency is totally split by account The shop is 100% driven by scopes and production. Which isn't good, b/c you end up arguing with clients about money on a regular basis especially on what work is covered and what isn't for each project. This is a a hold over from the early days when it was a video production shop. The agency is split across 4 buildings on West 39th, and some accounts have it REALLY bad. 333 is a DUMP.
