Pros

Good pension. Access to O'Reilly.

Cons

Not a nice atmosphere. Bullying atmosphere sometimes, particularly from management. The way that one manager spoke to me was awful on one occasion, totally unprofessional. I was aware of several people on PIPs (performance improvement plans) including myself - about 5 people, out of an office of only 50 people. I knew two of these people, and thought they were on a PIP unfairly. I think mine was unfair too. All 3 of us left the company shortly afterwards. Cleaners didn't do the kitchen area. So all developers had a rota. When it was your turn, you had to take everyone's mugs, put in the dishwasher, take them out, etc... everywhere else I have worked has hired a cleaner to do this. Lack of work when I was there. One developer was placed on a manual testing job for about 2 months. He left because of it. He was one of the people on a PIP and told me that he thought he'd been placed on this job because the company wanted him to quit.

- 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.
