Pros

Very competitive, a great learning environment, I felt like I learned more here than I learned in the classroom--very hands on. Employees are very nice and willing to help you and give you new projects and opportunities.

Cons

Since it's competitive I really wanted a challenge, and sometimes I would sit around with nothing to do after reaching out to people in the office. It took 3 months for HR to schedule my interview, she kept pushing it back and kept pushing my start day back, and almost forgot to tell me.

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.
