Pros
- Very friendly people from diverse backgrounds
- They support junior designers in acquiring new abilities
- Good work-life balance
- A lot of time off
Cons
- They’re poor, like genuinely poor. Everyone shares one license for a learning platform, and they don’t even provide decent software or hardware to work properly.
- The CEO has a big mouth. He’s always talking on LinkedIn about what makes a good or bad portfolio, but he can barely keep their three mediocre internal products from sinking.
- They get hired for basic execution work, just pushing pixels around. There’s nothing meaningful, no interdisciplinary projects, nothing that actually moves the industry forward.
- There are no career paths. Leadership keeps trying to start initiatives, but nothing good ever comes out of them. They wanted to be a consultancy and failed miserably.
- The place is full of passive-aggressive people who hide behind anonymity to make nasty comments instead of owning their opinions.
- There’s a constant scarcity vibe. People are scared of losing their jobs and end up competing with each other just to stay in the “favorites” circle.
- They keep pretending they’re a cutting-edge agency, but the truth is they’re struggling to survive and hold on to talent.
- A lot of people there are obsessed with UI animations like it’s revolutionary work, while others aren’t even sure if MVPs bring any real value.
