Pros

Great opportunities to learn new programs and skills, knowledgeable coworkers, opportunities to work on high-profile jobs internationally

Cons

This company is profoundly top-heavy; my team of 17 had 7 managerial staff. Nepotism is entrenched here, at least it was. Managers would take 2.5 hour workout breaks nearly daily. Many people who were very talented, knowledgeable and experienced were passed over for promotions/raises for those who happened to be friends with the existing staff. Expect to work 60+ hours a week with nary a thank you.

Pros

* Opportunities to work on international projects and for new employees to freely share their ideas. * Leadership that not only guides design but also supports employees in becoming better professionals and people. * A great LA office environment with a fitting salary. * An office team with excellent skills and knowledge, and great teams that are easy to work with.

Cons

It seems that incorporating more trend-forward designs could lead to even better results, but as a newcomer, I found it challenging to overcome the established methods and the specific direction and style clients wanted. Nonetheless, they consistently delivered solid outcomes.
