Pros

Large sites which are newly being built and expanded. They give bonuses and overtime when the business is doing well.

Cons

Difficult to get promotions for technical ability. Career wise, leadership is given more onus. Quite often managers will prefer to bring in new people from other teams to fill these roles and avoid losing their technical staff. Appraisal and payrise system is not very good and can make little difference overall.

- 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.
