Pros

Nice office. Some top-notch talent. The sporadic interesting project.

Cons

Regarding the US business: Unstable. Erratic. Identity crisis. Arrogant. Misrepresentation of company and jobs in hiring practices. Silo’d roles, despite what they say about everyone being a “t-shaped” strategist with an additional research or creative specialization. Zero onboarding. Little institutional knowledge, even about ‘proprietary methodologies’. Dysfunctional processes. High turnover, rounds of layoffs. Boys club atmosphere (as someone mentioned below) & lightweight accountability for misconduct. (By the way, I think the two prior reviews were probably written by people at Clear with hiring responsibilities. Case in point, in Nov 2017 there was no Executive Director in NY with 3 years tenure. But they were in hiring mode at the time.)

Unimaginative, poor quality

Pros

Nice office space and occasional free drinks

Cons

A very reductive market research agency where junior staff churn out sub-par work. Management are driven by increasing profit, but don't invest in quality training or work. "Strategy" is a buzz word with them, but the actual work is basic market research.
