Pros

None! There isn’t any other than a decent salary.

Cons

First day in they hand me 4-5 tiny and unclean laptops to see which one works. By the 4th laptop one allowed me to login. They handed me cleaning wipes to clean it myself as another former colleague had used it previously with his account still active. - monitor cables kept disconnecting. - only really one person in the Belfast office so zero craic or atmosphere. - Messy office - get you to sign an agreement to allow you to work longer than the max number of hours expected over here. First red flag - no introductions to anyone in company, no welcomes from the guys in the US. Kinda awkward tbh - project is a mess with a battle going on between US and Belfast, bad situation to be in - people there are overworked. - I was told by people there that they got into issues with booking holidays off and calls during that time asking them to come in. - The biggest piece of all this is the CEO, who shouts at people for taking a day off and referred to them as something I shall not repeat! All in all a rather horrible experience, and After two days I left the company and looking for something else! Avoid at all costs!

Pros

Creative Freedom: You get to shape visual concepts and bring bold ideas to life. 2️⃣ Leadership Role: You lead a team of designers, artists, or creatives — guiding their work and helping them grow. 3️⃣ Variety of Projects: From branding to advertising, film, or digital content — the work is diverse and rarely boring. 4️⃣ Influence and Recognition: Your vision sets the tone for campaigns and projects, giving you a strong creative voice. 5️⃣ Skill Development: You develop not only artistic skills but also project management, communication, and strategic thinking. 6️⃣ Networking Opportunities: You collaborate with other professionals — photographers, writers, directors — expanding your network.

Cons

1️⃣ High Pressure: Tight deadlines, client demands, and multiple revisions can be stressful. 2️⃣ Balancing Creativity with Constraints: Budget limits, client preferences, or brand guidelines can restrict your creative freedom. 3️⃣ Long Hours: Big projects or campaigns often require overtime, especially near deadlines. 4️⃣ Managing People: Leading a team means dealing with conflicts, motivating others, and handling different work styles — which isn’t always easy. 5️⃣ Job Competition: It’s a desirable role, so you often compete with many talented candidates.
