Pros

-interesting new technologies -colleagues are great -salary decent -pension and healthcare package good -holidays easy to book and plan -nice building and facilities -easy commute

Cons

-severe lack of technical knowledge and direction in key managerial positions -poor collaborative attitude to the work, some are more focused on how they are perceived by the business as opposed to actually doing the work well -back biting and bitchyness rear their ugly heads at times -no career progression -no understanding of competence so they've allowed very good staff to walk away with no fight to keep them -shoe horning much needed technical exploration for new products and services into following processes that only impedes progress.

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.
