Pros

Loved it for awhile. Learned a lot. Very smart people. Social place. Fast-paced. Met new people every day. Fun brands to work on.

Cons

Culture suffered from 2 rounds of major layoffs. Business leaders out of touch with employees and everyday consumers. Don't see them turning it around. Would be a good stint for a couple years, but know more layoffs or sell offs are coming.
