Pros

The actual work was fun to create, coworkers were nice and there are a lot of talented people.

Cons

The pay is low, especially for how much is demanded from designers. Management needed to get on the same page, instructions and feedback were usually confusing. No room for growth in the company and some people didn't get a raise for 2+ years. Everything constantly felt like an emergency and everyone was under a lot of pressure constantly. Very little communication from management. They also seemed very overwhelmed and stressed. No sense of a team or support, very much a sink or swim environment

Pros

Everyone is professional and helpful. Many people have been here over 10 years (some over 25 years!) If you are a hard worker and show interest, there are paths for promotion. The offices are lovely and nice location. Work loads are manageable but you are always busy.

Cons

If you want to be promoted, you do need to advocate for yourself and express your interest, and it may take some time, just like at most companies.

Pros

I had a great time working here. I loved my team and made good friends along the way. Judging from the other responses, I guess I was lucky to be in a great team because I felt supported through every moment of my time here. I felt I got plenty of guidance and personal growth. Sure it got busy at times, but everyone hauled *** when needed so you aren't alone when that happens.

Cons

I wish I had more clarity on what growth path I can have. It seems like I might've been stuck in my position if someone above me hadn't left. Some people around the office gossip about others a lot, which has made me uncomfortable at times. Especially the ones who do that and then run to HR for any little inconvenience. Some people just don't know how to separate feelings from work.
