Pros

Very smart, dedicated professionals. Continuously impressed with the talent and global reach. Company senior leadership truly cares, but also very busy.

Cons

Practice groups can feel isolated. There are untapped capabilities yet to be realized by leveraging the full reach and resources of the firm. Be prepared to work long hours and on weekends.

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.
