Pros

Great working environment. Top clients and amazing end products

Cons

If you don't fit in with the working 12 hour days every day then it reverts back to school bullying. The fact that everyone has a nickname should have set a lightbulb off in my head about the personalities running it.

Pros

As a contractor I've been treated like part of the "fampany". I was skeptical of the environment being all it is cracked up to be, but after my first conversation with the founders, I knew it was all for real. ustwo's people really are at the heart of the company. Their culture is famous, and their values of caring for each other, learning all the time and "being real" shine through. The London studio is packed full of smart and creative people, who are genuinely committed to creating a positive impact through the work they do. They're making high quality digital products and have a lot to be proud of. There are training budgets for all staff to buy books and courses to improve their skills and lots of emphasis is put on seeking feedback.

Cons

With so much choice, it takes self-motivated type of person to make the most of it. If you're waiting to be told what to do, you are unlikely to thrive in this environment. A billable hours model for client work can impact work life balance for some.

Pros

For me the work/life balance is very easy to achieve here. We are fairly strict with working 8 hours a day, and encourage taking regular breaks throughout the day, playing sports mid-week and (after 1 year of full-time employment) can get a free gym membership. The company is always looking to the future, what's next, we never stand still. We've gone from making wallpapers, icons and assets to building products from start to finish and launching new ventures + companies which employees have joined full-time leaving their roles at ustwo but still staying in the family. Which I think is a fairly unique model. It's all here if you want to work for it.

Cons

For me there is a bit of an un-balance when it comes to mindset, there are too many people in it for themselves, trying to climb the ladder, 'look what I have done, look how clever I am" and as company we think a little too highly of ourselves. This is of course not everyone but a few too many for my liking. Rapid expansion does come at a cost where a few years ago I knew everyones name, now there are people who could be a client, colleague, start up, friend , intern. There is a disconnect between the new business/management people and designers/developers.
