Pros

Great clients across the board

Cons

- Top management puts inexperienced staff in senior positions - No dedicated HR - Which means if you're one of the teams that is laid off (and this has happened several times in the two years the company has been around, from Milan to Mumbai to Shanghai -- offices wiped off the face of the earth) - No training - Just figure it out as you go along - No employee evaluations - No bonuses

Pros

- Big work. High visibility. Smart people. - There's a lot of camaraderie among the in-house folks, as the client can be a little difficult. - Things are looking up. No matter what has happened in the past, everyone is starting to look forward and concentrate on the future. - It's what you make it. While it feels a little corporate sometimes, your attitude about your work will be the ultimate determining factor in what you get out of the experience. This is a place for the self-starters, the self-motivated. You can do great things if you want to!

Cons

- There are some leftover bad attitudes from the merger. They'll drop off eventually, but you can sense it sometimes. To these people, I say, GET. OVER. IT. It will be healthier for you if you do. - More focused on traditional work. Not a ton of interest in digital. This will change! But that's how it is for now. - Senior leadership comes around like a blue moon and talks a big talk. But when they leave, things calm down and the people who run the day-to-day can continue concentrating on the work.
