Pros

I'm an onsite, full time employee and I love my job. My director is fantastic, and I work with a top-notch team of talented, caring, and committed designers. In fact, most everyone I've worked with cross-functionally has been exceedingly good at what they do and just as passionate about it. The company's positive mission and role in the future of work is a galvanizing force that attracts forward-thinking, talented individuals that work well together. As an individual, I find my work on the whole to be very engaging and satisfying. I appreciate that my team is both collaborative and self-reliant, invites discussion/hashing out of different viewpoints and that I'm given ample opportunity for new growth and the freedom to tackle new challenges or try new approaches. As a company, we've recently re-branded and you can feel the positive transformation throughout our product, workspace, and culture. It's an exciting time to be working at the company. Of course, there are things that could be improved and everything isn't awesome all the time. But, when a process isn't working or something breaks, anyone can speak up, be heard and help with the solution. I feel proud to be part of such a great team.

Cons

For my job, team and department, I have no real cons.

Pros

Pay and benefits were pretty good. Only reason I stayed.

Cons

Chaotic leadership. People are constantly busy doing things that don't matter as there is no clear understanding of what the strategy is or what success looks like.
