Pros

Good work environment Good pension Some good and loyal staff

Cons

Limited progression unless face fits Senior management lack vision and have lost a lot of talented people recently. Lots of 'cruisers' with no commitment - happy to take high salaries but expend no effort. Promotion of un-suitable candidates to management positions who have no clue or training on how to manage or lead people. What they did manage to do was pass a ridiculous interview process and that is it. Too much 'coffee and chat' - breakout meetings overused and abused Salaries are almost too high this is why lifers will not move Extra benefits inc car and private medical only available to management levels

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.
