Pros

-Travel -Work on a variety of interesting projects. -Paid for development courses.

Cons

-Highly un-sociable, un-pleasant work environment- enforced by low level managers who spend too much time caught up with trivial issues. -Very poor work-life balance. -Two-faced, hostile management style- certain rules seem apply for some employees while not for others (among some managers) -Top heavy staffing- abundance of senior staff with disproportionate and overworked lower level staff doing 90% of the legwork. -Below industry standard pay. -Below industry standard benefits- no bonuses/ travel help/ medical/ dental for below senior staff.

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.
