Pros

I have worked at FDG for many years. The CEO is the most giving lady that I have ever known. When most companies don't value employees, our CEO does, when most don't share profits of the company, our CEO does, when others don't reward employees, our CEO does, when others don't care about the company culture and what kind of environment we spend 40 hours a week in, our CEO does. Everyone just got surprise mid-year bonuses to share in the company's financial success and everyone received the same thing.

Cons

No cons really except it takes too long to get from parking to our office. You have to take 2 elevators but we have a beautiful office. I am sure there are cons as there are in any job but I'd prefer to focus on the positives instead of any negativity because this is the best company I have been employed by.

Pros

Little to no overtime. Easy projects. Elevated sense of design for some projects. Excellent work life balance and awesome healthcare dental benefits. CEO is passionate about helping the less fortunate and will encourage employees to contribute to worthy causes. Generally pleasant colleagues with several people having tenure. Great view of highland park and downtown Dallas from every angle in office. Lots of employee appreciation events. CEO preaches gratitude and encourages others to self reflect on positives of work and life.

Cons

Upper management, with exception of one director and CEO, difficult to work with. Some of the ‘fun’ activities are a little odd to see in corporate environment, such as sharing hotel rooms with other employees. Technology outdated, with support outsourced and activity closely monitored to prevent an unlikely scenario of corporate espionage. No remote work capacity. Extreme paranoia about employees having samples of work for portfolio even when a written request is made. Some projects are great examples of mass produced recycled designs. Frequent employee turnover, likely due to factors above. Not much room for vertical career growth and salary increases, likely because that money is allocated to employee appreciation events, odd ‘fun’ events, and lavish lifestyle of C-suite.
