Pros

- great company to kickstart your career - organized - truly care about client service

Cons

- severe lack of diversity across the majority of teams in the US, and that understanding is lacking across leadership, if you are in this category, you will probably be the only one on your team. -leadership needs training on management - typical agency life: long hours, frequent layoffs with little to no notice

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.
