Pros

Big company and the opportunity to learn a lot. Also a great bunch of undergrads each year, there were ~100 my year.

Cons

The company is a little too big and it's obvious that you can be forgotten about. I wan in the wrong department and spent 2 weeks doing nothing because my placement wasn't well organised. Career progression looked bleak, considering the number of graduates taken each year.

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.
