Pros

Flexible marijuana-friendly beer-friendly workplace, lots of freedom with ideas, flexible hours, "fun" and constant music playing. Free gym membership w/ the attached gym (also owned by the company owner.)

Cons

Absentee owner (was there maybe 1 full week for the 6 months I worked there) and zero management (unless you count the fact that everyone has a "management" title) means zero direction, no new clients, no checking-in on projects, and everything is rushed because no one knew X had to be done by Y (because no one knew who's job that was in the first place.)

Pros

The team was great and all were very passionate about their work.

Cons

The owner is bad news in all regards. Unethical, hostile, absent, and down right predatory. Stay away.

Pros

Tight-knit team with lots of wisdom and guidance. I learned a lot about the business and design standards on what it takes to run a design firm. Individual ownership on many projects.

Cons

Founder owned multiple businesses and was absent most of the week. Was only present a couple hours a day, or for important meetings. Management roles were stacked onto individuals, which ended up causing unnecessary pressure and additional workload. Because of that, everyone was extremely busy and had a poor work/life balance. Because the founder was never there, I had to even pester and hunt down to get my tax documents (which I never ended up getting).
