Pros

Fortune 500 clients, sports/entertainment exposure, nice offices

Cons

Poor workflow management and you are inundated with work without any clear direction. No respect at all for any work/life balance as you are expected to be available 7 days a week. Horrible communication from top to bottom as VPs try control and manipulate subordinates. Leadership only delegates to others and typically sells clients on services without having any clear direction on how to deliver. Poorly run Insights team as the leader is highly disingenuous, narcissist who only cares about himself and his career trajectory. Highly political environment where you get ahead via relationships and not your work ethic.

Pros

I had the opportunity to meet and work with some really cool clients and people over the years.

Cons

As another review stated below, working here started out as one of my most exciting and promising professional opportunities, but unfortunately, has quickly turned into my biggest professional disappointment. The digital and consulting departments have become a complete cluster over the last year or so, with no real direction and absolutely zero communication from "management". Senior leadership expects you to be proactive and have all the answers to everything, yet doesn't provide you with the guidance, knowledge and/or resources necessary to even know where to start. Nobody works as a team. On a larger level it is basically every department for themselves, and within ones own department it is every man for himself. Additionally, while the acquisition of Laundry Service and the Sports Syndicate within the past year seemed very promising at first, both have done nothing but cause more internal confusion and frustration because, again, leadership has (thus far) failed to find a way in which to successfully educate and integrate everyone into one cohesive, working unit. Unless you have "Senior" (or higher) somewhere in your title you will constantly be undervalued and overlooked when it comes to new projects and/or client accounts. The catch-22 is that you will also never be able to grow or advance if you're never given (or sometimes even aware of) new opportunities to demonstrate your value and, ultimately, prove your worth.

Pros

Traveling, going to events, looks good on resume, good office location

Cons

No visibility for entry or mid level employees, awful company culture (people wouldn't talk to one another even if they were sitting right across the way), horrendous management. your happiness and development is based solely on your account - each account is different, and some teams are more supportive/fun than others. Overall, had I known about the low salary compared to the market rate and poor management, I wouldn't have worked here.
