Pros

Good coworkers, who are genuinely passionate about design.

Cons

Management doesn't care about the mental health of its employees and tried to force 4 days in the office before morale dropped so sharply that they walked it back after less than 3 weeks. Note to the management, when people actually stand up in the office and clap about not having to be there an extra day every week, it's a pretty blatant sign that your workplace is toxic. They've cuts costs by firing long term talent (usually people of color and women) to churn through younger, less experienced designers; they've turned the creative department into a content mill of diminishing quality, frequently dangling exciting creative projects in front of the designers' noses before handing them off to an external vendor; they pit departments against each other like an insecure high school bully, rather than fostering company unity.
