Pros

Learn a LOT, great clients, hardworking team, lots of variety, very sociable, lots of opportunities for promotion and to carve your own path within different teams, great for a go-getter, someone who is keen to make new friends

Cons

Don't apply unless you are ready to work hard and play hard! It can be really really tough, you need to be resilient, hardworking and push yourself forward and not mind being very flexible with your own time and working late if necessary.

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.
