Pros
Diverse client exposure across industries.
Cons
Read every negative review on this page. They're all true. Every pattern the long hours, erratic management, culture that punishes honesty. Not a few disgruntled people. A consistent experience across time. Believe them. Leadership has no design background. They run design anyway. The person reviewing your work came up through software and operations, not design. Feedback feels like QA notes. The bar shifts based on mood, not principle. You'll spend real energy defending fundamentals to someone with a title but not the lineage. They speak at conferences about design leadership. The gap between what's said on stage and what happens in the room is worth knowing before you join. No weekends. No overtime. No benefits. Six days a week. Till 11 PM on weekdays. Base salary and nothing else. Push back and you're the problem. Hire and fire with no warning. Performing well by any reasonable measure doesn't protect you. Loyalty is demanded, not reciprocated. Feedback is a moving target. Contradictory session to session. Emotional, not constructive. You'll redo work not because it was wrong but because someone changed their mind overnight. HR exists to protect management, not you. Raise a concern and you'll be flagged as a culture risk. Complaints go back to the people you're complaining about. The ceiling is structural. Same revenue band for years. No equity, no ownership, below-market pay. The talent they hire is genuinely strong. The system guarantees those people leave.
