Pros

There are no pros. This environment was incredibly damaging.

Cons

It is apparent that there is little regard for employees, nor the students DesignLab works with. The environment was incredibly hostile and my work was adversely affected by the unhealthy conditions prevalent in the office. Harish and Daniel struggle to lead a team with empathy, professionalism, and the best interests of anyone at heart. Miscommunication and chronic layoffs were overwhelming. There was even direction from management to "catch" peers so they could find a reason to fire them. This truly appalling practice created a fearful environment that built distrust amongst colleagues. I am surprised this company is still in business given how truly horrific the work conditions are.
