Pros

Great products Very competitive salaries for very little effort No accountability - pull the well-being card and you can get away with poor performance

Cons

Promotion prospects based purely on ability to write a good PowerPoint or your personal relationships with influential Directors. Performance doesn’t feed into ability to progress Very management heavy - each manager has an average of only 2-3 direct reports Very hierarchical. Managers have no decision making ability or authority Directors are self serving - they are not acting in the best interests of the company Culture of bullying and brown nosing - need to fall into those categories to progress Appalling leadership behaviours Too slow to react to market changes Totally clueless about the changes needed to help the company survive Wellbeing talked about constantly but it’s all empty words

Pros

- Amazing work culture and work life balance - As a designer the world is your oyster of how you want to grow and develop - Manager is amazing at communicating your needs and empathizing with you - Everyone is driven to be a better designer and so much support from everyone

Cons

- Having to work sometimes really early or nighttime due to time zone differences with some of the people we work with - Projects & goals sometimes have to change in the week to better fit business needs and team goals.

Pros

Great work life balance Supportive environment

Cons

If you fall in the less than 3 years experience bucket, your best shot is the new graduate positions which have terrible pay and full-time employment after 2-years is not guaranteed.
