Pros

A lot of experience in a very short amount of time. Great for someone fresh out of school. You will work on a lot of small projects and gain experience very quickly. You will move up quickly within your own team.

Cons

Get stuck on specific project types. Poor Management, Most of the work shifted to designers/ sr designers, Absentee Management, Heavy blame-shifting, toxic culture, Incredibly hard to move up, Favoritism

Thank you for your comments and feedback. CRTKL has been through a great deal of change through the years. Yet, our company culture remains one that focuses on our people through comprehensive benefits package, professional career development, opportunities for exciting projects and participation in extracurricular activities. As you state, each team offers different experiences relative to growth, projects, challenges and opportunities. It seems that your experience at CRTKL was mixed and we appreciate your perspective. In the past three years, our investment has been on our people through 100% paid maternity leave, 100% parental leave, additional sick leave, floating holidays, expanded healthcare coverage, and the like. We are always interested in listening to our people's feedback to become better and partner more closely with our employees across all regions.

Pros

* Opportunities to work on international projects and for new employees to freely share their ideas. * Leadership that not only guides design but also supports employees in becoming better professionals and people. * A great LA office environment with a fitting salary. * An office team with excellent skills and knowledge, and great teams that are easy to work with.

Cons

It seems that incorporating more trend-forward designs could lead to even better results, but as a newcomer, I found it challenging to overcome the established methods and the specific direction and style clients wanted. Nonetheless, they consistently delivered solid outcomes.
