Pros

You'll be working with really smart people who think through current issues. There's something really exciting about working at a company with its finger on the pulse of current events. They are pretty good about giving raises and at the point in time I was there, even did COLA. There are companies that don't even do COLA except to top performers.

Cons

While you'll be surrounded by intelligence, you won't be surrounded by diversity. Looking into the cube bay, I saw row after row of female white women, in their mid-twenties, maybe (maybe) with a man sprinkled in (usually in management) or perhaps a POC.

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.
