Pros

A great place to learn, collaborate, get experience working across marketing functions, grow or transition your career ... people here come from all corners of marketing and it shows in the comprehensive approach the team takes to its work. Everyone's perspective is valued and you'll learn a ton just from working with this cast of characters. Meaningful work for clients who are real game-changers in their fields. The partners are really involved in the accounts - it's impressive. There aren't any egos getting in the way, just hearty discussion on how to make really smart, effective work. In general, the people here are really down-to-earth. It's a roll-up-your-sleeves, everyone's-opinion-matters work environment. A really great work-life balance is possible here. Refreshing to find in this industry.

Cons

Especially during training and onboarding, there's a lot of ambiguity here. If you're a real self-starter, though, you'll take that as a growth opportunity. People are always willing to help, answer questions, etc. The vacation and time-off policies could probably be better. The incentives here are still pretty basic and traditional.

Pros

Gives interns a decent amount of responsibility, take the work they do very seriously, work with variety of clients, overall good place to get introduction into world of marketing, communications, etc. (in its both interesting and dreadful aspects) fancy free lunches with your team and the partners

Cons

Pretty scattered in terms of assignments. A lot of "here, do this!"--could make it hard to feel like you were really working towards something or knew what to expect on a day-to-day basis. A lot also depends on what team/client you are working with. I personally felt really disconnected from my team and never ended up getting an official onboarding process. Made it feel like my work was unrecognized and didn't matter much. This was enhanced by everyone seeming so busy that they didn't have time to even answer a simple question. Also, they could have paid way more for a fancy advertising place in NYC that regularly goes out to expensive lunches.
