Pros

They want to be more than just a PR shop and offer digital and potentially be an AOR for certain clients. Ambitious company.

Cons

Leadership isn't committed to reaching its goals. Typical profit first mentality at the expense of the people. Constant layoffs in search of a better bottom line.

Pros

I worked with some of the brightest and best people in the business. Most of them are no longer with the company. Some good clients, and nice office space.

Cons

Very limited opportunities for growth. During my time they reduced promotions to only once a year, and made many excuses for promoting as few people as possible (despite becoming the first "$1B" agency at that time). Morale was extremely low. People were forced to come into an office with nobody they actually worked with. Common to be passed from manager to manager. At one point I had 6+ managers within a 10-month span.
