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.

Nice people, leave newer designers out of the loop a bit which makes them feel like interns rather than part of the team

Pros

Nice people, flexible schedule, very little overtime and when overtime comes the hourly staff gets good pay, annual raises, good benefits, time off

Cons

feeling alienated at times (culturally and work wise), not included in important meetings

Pros

Nice office environment, co-workers are nice people. Great benefits. A lot of opportunities to learn if you want, lunch-n-learn, training, etc.

Cons

No long term plan to maintain the current employees and frequent layoffs. They tend to layoff a great percentage of ppl when the economic is shrinking but then begin to hire many new comers. What's the point of getting rid of old workers (a lot of them had worked there for over 20 yrs) then after 6 months busy on hiring again? Higher level seldom communicate. If not attending the client meeting, the employee will never know what happen during the meeting.
