Pros

Location is great. Engineering talent is top notch. Good work-life balance. Love the guest speakers that come by. Very social group.

Cons

Leadership is uninspiring. Difficult work culture with the worst combination of micromanagement and grassroots. Very silo oriented. Management does not value their employees. Emotional abuse and lack of trust is a common sight.

Pros

- Amazing work culture and work life balance - As a designer the world is your oyster of how you want to grow and develop - Manager is amazing at communicating your needs and empathizing with you - Everyone is driven to be a better designer and so much support from everyone

Cons

- Having to work sometimes really early or nighttime due to time zone differences with some of the people we work with - Projects & goals sometimes have to change in the week to better fit business needs and team goals.

Pros

Great work life balance Supportive environment

Cons

If you fall in the less than 3 years experience bucket, your best shot is the new graduate positions which have terrible pay and full-time employment after 2-years is not guaranteed.
