Pros

- Strong brand name, but attracts clients looking for safe and uninspiring work - Invented Brand Valuation, but like sausage, you don't want to see how it is made. - Global network, but offices are selfish so weak at global integration - Not a strong work ethic

Cons

- Greedy executives who spend a lot of time justifying their jobs instead of creating value - Extremely poor employee retention - Managing directors are not brand-experts, just office managers with no decision authority - Very weak design; commitment to design is all talk

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
