Pros

A lot of free food

Cons

Interbrand New York is a terrible place to work. The people are vicious, petty, scheming and just delusional. They honestly believe they're doing best-in-class creative work, but in reality it couldn't be more dull, more derivative, less inspired. Lower and mid-level employees are treated terribly, and those in higher positions just sit around and think of new ways to inflate their undeserved egos even more. If you are offered a position here, force them to put everything into writing, because they have no problem with making promises that they have no intention to keep. Stay away. There are so many other shops out there where you will be valued. This is not one of them.

Pros

-Fun, smart people -Big name clients and (some) interesting projects -Decent work-life balance (but this is not true for everyone/ every role)

Cons

-Lots of change and many rounds of layoffs in the last year+ -Many big-egoed senior leaders who are difficult to work with and do not care about team's development -Projects can become very rinse and repeat; ultimately most clients have the same fundamental brand problems -Recent austerity measures due to IPG acquisition + internal politics = VERY slow to promote people -Once you reach a certain level, your growth maxes out unless you are buddies with the CEO and able to get into a global leadership position -Mandated 3 days/week in-office for ALL employees regardless of role, situation, or location
