Pros

Company wants to create and foster a strong culture. Flexible about hours / working from home. Interest in doing good in the world by focusing design on non-profits & foundations. Annual design event in Tahoe.

Cons

Chaotic & fast paced. Sometimes intentions don't always pan out in practice. Budgets of non-profits aren't always big enough to pay for types of projects desired.

Pros

If you want a place to work that makes you feel good about how you spend your time, and how you use your creativity, this is the place. If you don't like being boxed into a single role, elefint provides opportunity to grow and learn new skills. At elefint you can: •  Do work that inspires you • Work closely with clients at all stages of a project • Participate in rewarding events like Desgn.it Tahoe • Work in a beautiful studio space... that's dog friendly! • Have an open and collaborative that values personal and professional growth.

Cons

The "startup-ness" and small studio feel, means process and people change.

Pros

Elefint is a great little team. The creative director and co-founder truly cares about her staff, and it was a healthy workplace to grow and be inspired. The office is in a beautiful spot shared with a great team of architects upstairs. Annual events like Desgn.it add to the atmosphere of truly making a difference in people's lives. In a city where everyone says that about their company, it feels good to know that this one is legit.

Cons

Due to the nature of working with non-profits, sometimes project budgets weren't what I wished they could be. Of course, this would be the same at any agency that works with this type of client — but it's something to keep in mind.
