Pros

Culture, large agency with resources, opportunities for learning and development- outside speakers

Cons

No process for training and onboarding, managers are so busy and spread too thin they aren't around to give you what you need, very cut throat culture, everyone is competing to get to the top, very judgmental / not much support

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.
