Pros

Dog friendly company Laid back if you like that kind of work environment

Cons

No cutting edge vision or direction, company lost its way years ago Its overloaded with too many senior (old) decision makers stuck in the 90s Its top heavy with everyone being a director on big salaries MD & Client Directors are hardly present as they are babysitting their kids Small creative and client services team working on tactile executions There's no culture that brings employees together There's a lack of job progression, you're stuck in the same role unless you leave The company has been performing poorly, past 4 years no bonus or salary increases Lots of great people have left

Pros

Small pleasant environment with nice people

Cons

Spent way too many days on simple mindless tasks and not the most strategic work. If you are looking for portfolio work this isn't the place.

Pros

Only some nice colleagues. Hybrid working.

Cons

The company struggles with a lack of discipline and outdated management practices. They haven't hired new staff (designers) in years, leading to difficulties in onboarding. The design process is rushed, leaving little time for research and innovation. Many employees are older and not up-to-date with modern design methods. They don't recognize your talent and abilities to utilize them in the same field. Feedback sessions are handled ineffectively. Most of the work is in development, which is why they prefer hiring interns and pretend that conditions are improving. You can also tell from Lyle's Golden Syrup brand redesign that there is no real taste or knowledge behind their designs. Everything is outdated, including the communication style and recreational plans.
