Pros

Great training opportunities for those who join the industry when they are really green. Massive network of colleagues. Varying types of project work so you get exposure to a lot of different things. Great client list.

Cons

Pay is far below acceptable Leaders talk about balance but there is no room for balance in reality Weekend and evening work expected as a standard Little to no guidance Does not train people managers well Systemic biases apparent on teams, especially towards female-minority junior employees Managers gaslight your concerns with promises of account changes and new team members for support Clique, favoritism culture

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.
