frog design Reviews

Pros

Encouraged to push the envelope of design, projects use true design forward practices. Able to tap into other teams to come up with amazing solutions. Daily coffee time to get to know everyone across disciplines.

Cons

A lot of extremely talented people are leaving every week, lack of empathy, extremely aggressive times, poorly scoped projects, lack of team alignment across visual and ux design, studio leads are creating a toxic environment of favoritism opting to single out designers and leads regardless of meeting or beating client expectations and rewarding others whom do not to meet client needs.

Pros

Some of the most talented people I have ever worked with. Truly inspirational, and a collegial environment

Cons

Workload can sometimes be too much.

Pros

Amazing work. Great reputation. Casual working environment. Coffee Time.

Cons

Work-life balance depends on the Program Manager (some are good but others are not great). Poor HR team that does not care about the wellbeing or culture of the firm. Design teams are slowing being filled with Ad Agency world people and Strategy team with management consulting people that break the culture from a collaborative fun culture to a me-first, cocky, and competitive atmosphere where the loudest voices in the room win.

Pros

People, work experience, exposure to all types of industries

Cons

Just like any other client-based company, the client comes first, deadlines must be met, and the work must be immaculate. So, long hours are common...but the end products seem to pay off for most people.

Pros

- Some of the work is interesting - Looks good on your resume - People are generally nice, and they are trying to promote a creative culture

Cons

- Extremely disorganized for a company that has been around for over 50 years - Leaders and managers lack leadership skills. Often inexperienced or unequipped team leads are put in charge, but they don't know how to guide a team, make decisions, or translate client needs, and then throw other team members under the bus when things go wrong - Leaders in the design discipline create a toxic environment for both visual and interaction designers where favoritism is apparent, and you are constantly told to prove yourself over and over again - It is unclear who you can trust in management. It does not feel safe to be critical or completely honest, even to your own manager (who is supposed to help you grow) - Directors are selling work and making unrealistic promises to clients. Team leads and PMs don't know how to scope or run the work properly, so teams burn out - Turnover is high. It feels like someone is leaving every other week. There are lot of temporary hires or contractors who are hit or miss. This creates an environment that makes employees feel more like resources than humans

Pros

Great people to work with, interesting work

Cons

Company has been through some changes, I think they are coming out of a rough time, only time will tell.
