Pros
Great, super smart people and the opportunity to work with clients who have priorities other than the bottom line. Centrally located in downtown Oakland, with a cute and cool office. For freelancers they are lenient with where you set up shop, so you have some flexibility. Thought-wise they are leaders, BUT design-wise I thought there was a lack of a strong design voice at the top who can give clear, well-reasoned and helpful feedback.
Cons
I've never seen more blatant sexism in an office than under the current leadership at FR. I would say carefully consider working here if you're female and appreciate being taken seriously.
