Pros

Small team environment. Early exposure to client work and project responsibilities.

Cons

The company appears to rely heavily on very junior staff, often hiring recent graduates with limited experience, likely due to lower salary expectations, and assigning them a large portion of the workload. Expectations can be difficult for entry level designers to manage without adequate mentorship or training. This frequently results in high pressure and project delays. Leadership is closely tied to the owners, which can create a challenging work environment when communication becomes unprofessional or dismissive. Career growth opportunities are limited, and employee morale across teams is generally low.
