Pros

Salary, good name to have on CV

Cons

90% of my time spent doing nothing, grad scheme not at all structured, no support and have been trying to speak to someone for help/guidance for months without success. They talk a good game but my reality is absolutely terrible, I definitely regret leaving a previous role and coming on to the manufacturing graduate scheme here.

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.
