I think Pentagram's work is awesome. The are behind why some of the biggest brands work, and they still can do boutique work as well.
The way their site presents is perfect for the volume and varied work that they do.think about it.
they obviously have.

i cant speak for the whole company but the people i worked with in NYC were elitist and not very open minded which is odd when making something creative..

TIMELESS designs.
Not trends like horizontal line patterns and wood textures.

oh, and those annoying circles with a pointed tip that looks like a bird's head.

the site represents absence of style and/or personality...

their work speaks for itself.
as for commenting on the site. it's not on par with their work. don't give me this clean, no frils usable site - why did they use the that pointless flash splash.
whatever, they are not an interactive agency so whatever.

I don't think an absence of style for the their web page is neccesarily a bad thing. They are a design firm that covers multiple disciplines and clients and adapt a style according to the needs of the client. Their site is to the point and simple free of any excesses.
Whats wrong with the workmark?
It says pentagram clearly.

I agree.

the site feels like it wants to be a print piece.... the size of everything feels odd....but the simplicity is cool...with all those partners opinions im sure it had to be this way...

Boring. Dull. Uninspiring. I can see they're trying to do a very dry, honest site that has no bullshit trimmings but it's about as much fun as Lichtenstein (sorry, I've not actually been there but it sounds dull). The work on it is great but as a whole the site wouldn't make me think I want to work with them / for them.
Oh, and the typeface doesn't work very well on screen.
I was going to offer http://www.brownsdesign.co.uk/ as an example of how to do this kind of look well, but they've gone and changed it and it's not too nice either.

Pentagram does do web projects but the site is a political issue re: which office is in control. Let's just say the current approach was chosen to make partners happy not and has resulted in a site that not all the offices are happy with. More stuff coming though, I'd stay tuned. Pentagram did not work on the Segway.
