Pros

Benefits are good, products are exciting and experienced massive growth and good results while the automotive industry volumes were on the up.

Cons

The culture is quite toxic. Short-termism is the norm, with no clear overall strategy or long term vision (make it up as you go along), and constant tactical change of direction. Departments only take care of their little area of responsibility, disregarding the impact of their actions on other areas and on the overall performance of the company, resulting in uncoordinated diverging activities. No learning of past mistakes result on the same issues recurring over and over again. At the moment internal moves are frozen, severely limiting career progression.

Pros

- Amazing work culture and work life balance - As a designer the world is your oyster of how you want to grow and develop - Manager is amazing at communicating your needs and empathizing with you - Everyone is driven to be a better designer and so much support from everyone

Cons

- Having to work sometimes really early or nighttime due to time zone differences with some of the people we work with - Projects & goals sometimes have to change in the week to better fit business needs and team goals.

Pros

Great work life balance Supportive environment

Cons

If you fall in the less than 3 years experience bucket, your best shot is the new graduate positions which have terrible pay and full-time employment after 2-years is not guaranteed.
