Pros

99designs is a wonderful place for someone looking to get a career started. The company consists of some of the most humorous, creative, and humble people. The managers care about their team and advocate for their reports. Standard tech office perks like Keg, happy hour, and casual work environment.

Cons

Benefits were not that great but I hope have improved somewhat. Large wage gap between Execs and the rest of the company. High turnover with upper management. Can feel like a boys club. I also witnessed some shady business practices including knowingly withholding payment from designers and unchecked copyright infringement.

Pros

Australian company with an office in Oakland Ca. Fully remote position. Very chill environment. Laid back leadership approach. Expectations were reasonable. Although the mission was never terribly clear. And then the position was ended a year into it. Laid off with a pretty decent severance package.

Cons

C-level management was never very clear on what our mission was. Pretty sure they knew they were going to lay us off when they hired us. They just needed a few stop-gap lower managers.
