Pros

Great opportunities due to start-up like mindset. Very diversified and capable teams. If they manage to fix their major issues (see below) and business gets better, I would recommend it for doers and those who are looking for a great multidisciplinary experience. (in about 2-3 years I guess)

Cons

Management abuses of 'fake it till you make it'... No clear vision from their side brings a lot of interesting initiatives to fail. They don't trust and value all the very skillful people they have/had. They have often burnt out their employees and fired them suddenly - smart ones have left before it could happen... Understandable when you know that management changes every 6 months... HR hasn't been very helpful nor trustworthy when their help was needed. From having got to know a lot of different people there, most common words to describe Cosmo were: 'confusing' and 'disappointing'.

Pros

Great positive design ethic place at first. However no longer the same spirit as before. Maybe a great opportunity to redefine. Good luck.

Cons

Founders internally fighting for leadership. Current management focused on sales, lost original great design spirit of Great design ethics and values. As the direction was lost from the founders, trickled down throughout the company executives and management major reshuffle. The company left spinning wheels with little direction. The company lost its messaging. The company downsized drastically globally. Hopefully, new strong leadership with vision will help. Unfortunately, management typically lost their cool frequently and with added pressure from above became toxic.
