Pros

-You get to do good work and work with good people and talented designers -Creative freedom -Because it's a small firm, designers get to learn and be involved with all aspects of design from client contact, collaboration on variety of projects, print production, etc. -Management is transparent and cares for employees. Meets every 6 months to learn how the company is doing and how we want to grow -Good work/life balance - everyone worked hard during office hours and left on time -Team is fun, people had a good sense of humour

Cons

Fast paced environment. If you're uncomfortable with a fast-paced environment, probably not the place for you

Pros

GRAPHEK's Twitter Bio reads "An award-winning, interdisciplinary design studio looking for new problems to solve & strong partnerships to build", but as a former designer for this company, I'm happy to say that they are so much more than that; they're a family. Ellen Kim's excellent art direction and passion for delivering quality design in the studio can only be surpassed by her kind-hearted friendship outside the studio. Her husband Walter, GRAPHEK's managing principal, exemplifies great strength as both a businessman and a loving father of three. Their design team, lead by the talented and charismatic Sophie Ramsey, are always challenging themselves creatively to raise everyone's A-game. Whether it's branding, interactive design, collateral or publishing, there's nothing this company can't do. More importantly, the relationships they build with clients is second to none. Quality correspondence, excellent customer service, and attention to detail are just a few things you can expect from them. At the end of the day, this is a company you'd want to share a cold beer with after a long day of work (Yes, they're THAT cool).

Cons

The only critique I have is that they need to find some room for a new trophy case, because they continue to rack up award after award.

Pros

They love what they do, they are good at it, and their clients have stuck with them for years which tells you how happy they must be. Ellen is an incredibly talented designer and she surrounds herself with talented designers. They love being a studio and not a agency, and want to grow with that in mind. What a nice change from all the hype in the other agencies.

Cons

Maybe be less worried about growing so more can get the chance to work with them.
