Pros

Great location with a pretty view. Interesting people and (sometimes) cool projects. OK work/life balance. They throw a great Christmas party.

Cons

No transparency from senior leadership about bonuses, direction of company, etc. No room for growth unless if you're a beloved designer. Some bad apples among senior leadership -- rude directors with huge egos who could care less about your work. No pay raise in the 2 years worked here (and below average pay to start with). No real culture to speak of. Cliques especially in the retail design department. A general feeling of doom when working here.

Pros

* Opportunities to work on international projects and for new employees to freely share their ideas. * Leadership that not only guides design but also supports employees in becoming better professionals and people. * A great LA office environment with a fitting salary. * An office team with excellent skills and knowledge, and great teams that are easy to work with.

Cons

It seems that incorporating more trend-forward designs could lead to even better results, but as a newcomer, I found it challenging to overcome the established methods and the specific direction and style clients wanted. Nonetheless, they consistently delivered solid outcomes.
