Pluspunten

Amazing coworkers, chill vibe compared to most ad agencies, decent company benefits

Minpunten

No matter what they tell you, this is still a PR shop, and work suffers because of that. Clients won't let you out of that PR "lane" because they already have other creative agencies, and as such, you spend a lot of time putting together decks for lackluster ideas that probably won't get produced. The creative department is also EXCEPTIONALLY top-heavy (everyone's a VP), meaning opportunities for growth are few and far between. This is not a place to build up your book, it's a place to build a comfortable living and start a family, which can really hurt creatives who are looking for more in their career.

Pluspunten

I worked with some of the brightest and best people in the business. Most of them are no longer with the company. Some good clients, and nice office space.

Minpunten

Very limited opportunities for growth. During my time they reduced promotions to only once a year, and made many excuses for promoting as few people as possible (despite becoming the first "$1B" agency at that time). Morale was extremely low. People were forced to come into an office with nobody they actually worked with. Common to be passed from manager to manager. At one point I had 6+ managers within a 10-month span.
