Pros

Best in the business, superb range of clients. Great place to make friends and you work with some of the smartest and hardworking people. You really do learn a lot

Cons

Often long hours and developing a routine out of your work life can be difficult (this is the nature of PR though) - some senior staff can show a lack of respect to you and your time. Probation period is extremely long and can be extended (which was a nightmare when I was arranging accommodation). Promotions are a long winded process and you have to really push for it.

Great clients. Great people to work with.

Cons

Office politics. Silly things that were sold to the client that just did not make sense.

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.
