Pros

Huge name recognition in the industry. Cool client accounts. If you have a decent supervisor you can go far.

Cons

What the headline says. There's a lot of room to grow but the sheer size of the company makes it sometimes difficult to cut through the red tape and be recognized for contributions/get opportunities to grow on the bigger accounts

Pros

As always, the people you work with. Nice office spaces.

Cons

Uncertainty and contradictory information. 'Senior' teams have client meetings and make decisions that are not relayed to the teams, solo miscommunication and frustration is the bread and butter of operation. They don't have business visiblity for the next 2-3 weeks so they try to pivot and impress the client up to 3 times a day, which is time consuming, it burns out and rarely anything gets to the client. A very vertical organization, something is right or wrong simply because a 'VP' says so. They claim to be supportive, to have programs, to do everything for their employees, but when you actually need something, you realize you're on your own.
