Pros

Recognizable name. Some areas of the business are well managed and thought out, but they are mostly non-US. Good internship program. US offices situated conveniently in respective cities.

Cons

Inter-connection among practices, agencies, offices is non-existent unless forced by client circumstance, even then spotty at best. Under pay/under title keeps HRs stats falsely healthy so when the day comes to prove they are fair, they are ready. No orientation to company, other groups, mentors, etc except via must-watch videos upon start. New management speaking a lot about millennials, but not about mid-management who is managing. Lacking in creativity - the decor says it all. The ability to know the skills of every employee and tap into what makes people stay is non-existent. How can an agency help companies stand for something when they can't even build a clear identity? Minimal social activities, no growth discussions, zero career-relevant training, nothing. No collective culture. Some senior execs can be down-right rude and level-arrogant, but it's tolerated. Dental is not great.
