Pros
- Work from home - Variety of projects from different industries
Cons
Cons - Where to start. The place runs like a school, except the teachers are openly disappointed in you and the report card comes every quarter with a side of "shape up or ship out." - Standards get reset constantly, and if you can't hit a moving target while blindfolded, that's apparently a you problem. - Feedback is never about the work, it's about you as a person, which is a fun new genre of professional development. Senior designers won't lift a finger to help your craft but will find the energy to quietly campaign against it. Managers are lovely to your face and busy elsewhere. You will work in a silo so deep you could store grain in it. - Workload is genuinely unhinged: 8 to 12 clients a month, which is less "design role" and more "see how many plates one human can spin before HR gets involved." Targets are unrealistic, the environment is hostile, the salary is aggressively mid, and no gear is provided. - They've also pivoted from Australia-first to Bali-first, so brace for communication that feels less like collaboration and more like a slow-motion arm wrestle across time zones. - The crown jewel: they monitor keystrokes, mouse movement, and browsing on your personal laptop, which means your performance review doubles as a true-crime documentary about your Tuesday afternoons. And whether you score well or not is beside the point. If they want you gone, the review is just paperwork. Profit comfortably outranks wellbeing. Oh, and the CEO thinks reading more books will solve all of this. It will not.
