Pros

great people, incredible talents (mostly), dynamic and truly global team. great benefits. wide range of work to build on. a lot of different skills to learn across departments and teams. every project experience is unique and different.

Cons

bottleneck of mid-high level mgmt, company values are not aligned, high focus on profitability, extreme lack of awareness wrt each role's needs and values. the non-management roles pay the consequences for every company decision being made, with not very much support being given to the ones who hold the work together. you will likely have to do what they want you to do, and not what is right by your job.

Pros

Good pay. Started as a solid brand with talented coworkers.

Cons

No real upward mobility or promotion opportunity. Higher-level senior management is disconnected from creative leadership and tends to gamble a bit too much with client relationships. Agency promises a lot of benefits and growth opportunities for employees that do not come to fruition. When budgets get tight, they cut creative teams regardless of whether the account and employee have been performing well for the agency.
