Great clients, who come for quality relationships and quality work.
Caring colleagues (sometimes a bit too much)
Lovely projects.
Cons
The appearance of being listened to and cared about, yet no real change can be made without it being a leader's own idea.
The appearance of commitment to doing right, yet broken promises repeated consistently, leaving people feeling let-down and burnt out.
Stasis in the design team, which is underserved, and barely-led by thin-skinned egos. Speaking up is discouraged, as are new ideas.
Interesting clients and projects
Good strategy team
9 day fortnight
Cons
The company is ran by a project management team that have no understanding of the design process. They act as yes-men to clients, and the design team doing the real work suffer.
The company has a bloated leadership team of people who talk a lot but don’t really do anything.
