Pros

Some of the people working for the company were nice to work with. A couple of the people i worked with tried lots to help me when they had the time. They were great.

Cons

Nobody at the company gave me an introduction and nobody explained much to me. The manager was a non-existent leader who seemed to not have a clue what what going as he was never involved in our work day to day but talked a lot of nonsense. He always got my name wrong. Nobody ever gave me feedback on how I was doing and there was no senior person who was free to help me (i am a junior). I had a couple of days off due to mental health issues and a week after they let me go due to "budget reasons". (I heard they tried to hire an old freelance person after). The whole company thought they were a lot cooler and forward thinking than they actually are. Not a great environment to work for a junior. Everyones egos seemed very fragile. Nobody ever spoke the truth about things. Every conversation was whispers which I was never involved with.

Pros

Strong Creative Teams working on fun ideas

Cons

Bad and Expensive Management hoard funds for themselves and diminish talent. They also protect toxic people and do not know how to win work.
