Pros

From a strictly professional standpoint, if you work at R/GA, especially in a creative capacity, you will have the chance to do great work, build your book, and win some awards. Also, you'll get to work with truly innovative people that if you are lucky, you will touch base with down the road on bigger and better projects.

Cons

If you want to have no personal life than work for R/GA. The hours are crazy, they expect you to commit every fiber of your being, personal life be damned. A lot of people get burned out and there is a sense of smugness in some of the people there. If you didn't go to the right school or aren't into the latest, micro-trend you might get looked down on.

Pros

The work can be interesting and innovative. The people are smart and fun to work with. There's a surprisingly small number of ego-centric jerks, and most people are humble and down to earth. Your checks won't bounce! Get on the right account and you'll fill your resume up with awards.

Cons

The buildings are in really bad shape and the work areas are depressing, dirty and sweat-shop-like. Once you get placed on an account, it's very hard to move. A lot of the work is slogging through very dry, low level pages of corporate websites. Not particularly focused on building memorable consumer experiences.

Pros

The talent at R/GA is phenomenal. There are a lot of interesting things happening at once and at times can be a little overwhelming to keep track of things that are happening across the company. It's growing rapidly but isn't getting out of hand. Kris Kiger, VP of Visual Designer is awesome and very personable as well as all of the other upper management, Creative Directors included.

Cons

It's a fast paced environment, and sometimes you can get lost in the mix because the company is growing so fast so if you want to expand your career, you have to speak up for yourself and voice your opinions. Also, the company is spread out into three buildings so it's hard to converse and get to know other coworkers outside of your existing team.
