      No upward mobility (for most)

      Pros

      Great people, unlimited PTO, decent benefits. I honestly loved my coworkers and the brands I worked on, which kept me going at the company.

      Cons

      There was basically no growth potential for most employees, especially if you're based in the US. A handful of people in the UK get promoted - and those same people got promoted 3+ times in my 2 years at the company - but there's no upward mobility for most, even if you have double the experience as the people getting promoted all the time.

      Massive company with lots of moving parts.

      Pros

      Future is too big to fail. They've acquired so many media companies that they have cushioned themselves against global recession.

      Cons

      It's so big that often the layman voices are not heard. There are no annual performance reviews, eliminating opportunities for raises, there is no budget for higher training for many teams, and when colleagues depart there is no movement to hire new employees to cover the workload, it is simply distributed to the remaining employees. Also there is little to no upward mobility.
