Pros
You'll get to work with interesting clients and take responsibility for big projects. The bar is set very high and everyone hired generally has excellent taste. You will undoubtedly do your best work and emerge with an impressive portfolio. The pace is insanely fast (some people like this), so you need to know what you're doing or figure it out fast. No one is going to teach you. My efficiency and skills definitely improved, but mostly through my own determination. The people you work with will be some of the kindest, most creative people you'll ever meet. They're really what make the company shine. Everyone from project managers, to developers, to illustrators, cares deeply about design and delivering top notch work. If there's one thing Fuzzco gets right, it's their hiring. Truly amazing people. Fuzzco also does a nice job of nurturing community for its employees. There's an annual retreat, wine tastings, family-style dinners. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome.
Cons
The fast pace can be a negative aspect if you're not someone who thrives in that type of environment. It becomes a larger problem when it gets paired with a certain level of micromanagement. You could work on a project for weeks, only to have someone review your work the night before the deadline and completely change it. Many issues stem from the fact that the owners don't have any industry experience. This can be good and lead to non-traditional approaches to management and creative direction, but it also has a dark side. There is a no-freelance policy that limits your creative and financial freedoms outside of the office. You will be expected to be available during public holidays if the need arrises. Oftentimes it seems clients have a larger voice than employees.

Pros
- Truly an amazing opportunity for networking. Some extremely talented individuals work here. - An interesting/diverse client base and internal initiatives. You will not be bored by the work. - Great opportunity for learning. High expectations in a fast-paced environment will force you to grow your skill set and improve your efficiency.
Cons
- Poor work/life balance. Working over 40 hours a week and being on-call for "emergencies" is an expectation. - Sub-par benefits and salaries for the industry. - Hires are typically either young or green to the industry. This creates an environment where employees are not comfortable advocating for themselves and are taken advantage of. - Limited opportunities for upward mobility. - Lack of trust between partners and employees. - No QA team.
