Pros

well paid internship, nice colleagues, good start in a large agency with focus on branding, you learn how to present to Marketing Departments etc. for large corporations. You have to like this kind of corporate work which is mostly about implementation and consulting for branding. If you want to get more

Cons

the work consists mostly of updating manuals and presentations, a lack of creative execution, old skool way of doing things, lack of innovation, typographic details not very sophisticated. Senior designers were working on pitch over public holidays/bank holiday weekends.

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
