Pros

Exciting products, work life balance is good, pleasant offices.

Cons

It’s like working for a dictatorship at times. Very quick to launch campaigns around being kind, wellbeing and diversity. Scratch under the surface and the very people who run these campaigns are none of the things they stand for. There is no kindness, wellbeing or diversity, just tick box campaigns to make sponsors feel like they’re doing something. Resource never matches workload, directors aren’t really interested in hearing that. Staff turnover is massive at present, no pay rises for 3 years, if you get bullied by senior staff then your management will turn a blind eye to it and pin it on “passion” Good luck if you think outside the box, that’s definitely not welcome, do as your told and you’ll do just fine, challenge and you’re a nuisance.

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.
