Pros

- Work with well-known brands - Some extremely talented and kind team members - Internal monetary perks, such as well-being stipends and home office stipends - Transparency around pay - Can work fully remote or hybrid

Cons

- Uncompetitive pay - High turnover in some departments - Noticeable favoritism - Heavy emphasis on repetitive production design work; if you’re interested in consistent diversity in projects and or creative ideation, may not be a great match - Some teams have poor or nonexistent onboarding processes - Lag in feedback from managers, sometimes crucial feedback isn’t shared until mid-year or end-of-year reviews - Unnecessary client fire drills due to lack of proper communication between internal design teams, producers, and the client - Frequent changing of leveling/promotional benchmarks or use of different metrics; feels like a moving goal post - Feels like people are hesitant to share constructive feedback, seems like most people decide to leave instead
