Pros

Some of the people are great, offices are decent.

Cons

Management don't have a clue what they are doing unfortunately. Work never gets delivered, spend 3 days every 3 months in planning sessions for the work to just sit there in gitlab and never actually going live. Toxic line managers who don't care about people with mental health problems, forcing them to do tasks which they don't want to do. Don't get decent laptops to work on. Holidays need to be approved by office manager. You get 19 days holidays instead of a basic 25 because your holidays have to be given up for mandatory shut down days.

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.
