Pros

Great network of very smart people Opportunity to work with some of the largest brands/companies globally

Cons

Salaries can be low if you move up internally - lots of boomerangs because they prioritize external hires for higher pay. In the 3 years I have been management-bonus eligible it’s never paid out, and there have been layoffs 5 out of 6 years in my tenure here.

Pros

As always, the people you work with. Nice office spaces.

Cons

Uncertainty and contradictory information. 'Senior' teams have client meetings and make decisions that are not relayed to the teams, solo miscommunication and frustration is the bread and butter of operation. They don't have business visiblity for the next 2-3 weeks so they try to pivot and impress the client up to 3 times a day, which is time consuming, it burns out and rarely anything gets to the client. A very vertical organization, something is right or wrong simply because a 'VP' says so. They claim to be supportive, to have programs, to do everything for their employees, but when you actually need something, you realize you're on your own.
