Pros

Very good work/life balance unless you are doing product launches. Good salary for the Midlands as well, especially if you do regular overtime (which most of the time is paid) or you reach Senior (D grade) level. You can even get sponsored for an education. So overall very nice perks, you can live a very comfortable life there.

Cons

Horrible company culture when it comes to project management or deadlines. Dreadful really. Nothing gets delivered on time, EVER. There are little to no consequences, there is a policy of greenwashing through every milestone. This is promoted from the top (looking at you, Ralf), ezecutive management having a very “bold” (read that greedy) strategy when it comes to vehicles. There are no clear roles and responsibilities, it’s very vague. You can end up doing many useless things.

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.
