Pros

Punchcut is an incredibly talented creative design agency. The folks who work there are immensely intelligent, driven, and one-of-a-kind personalities. While working mostly for this company during the pandemic (I was hired in late 2019) and getting to know folks through online communications, I can say that management made a huge effort to connect all of the employees with activities and games that brought us together even though we were physically apart. Punchcut does a good job of making the employees feel included, whether we were physically in the office or if we were on a video call. Professional with each other in the workplace and with their clients, Punchcut doesn't tolerate poor or inappropriate behavior. When I briefly worked in the office, it felt like joining a family - we'd eat together at a long table in the middle of the office, and we'd accompany each other for coffee runs. When we were forced to move to remote work, we would still have group lunches via video chat. I had an amazing experience working for this company, and miss the critical thinking and in-depth conversations with the friendly Punchcut folks. I'd like to add that during my tenure at Punchcut, my father passed away, and I'll never forget the outpouring of support from this company. Folks were so kind and supportive, the company sent flowers, it was incredible. I sometimes believe that it was my destiny to work with this company during this exact moment of my life. I will be forever grateful for the opportunity, and I only moved on to a new company in order to switch my field to entertainment-focused work. Otherwise I'd still be at Punchcut, as I foresee they will be successful for many years to come.

Cons

There aren't any glaring cons when it comes to Punchcut. You really have to be willing to work hard at this company. You will not be able to get by with doing the bare minimum. Additionally, if you're working in a Project Management role, be prepared to wear a few hats. You'll handle financials, communications, some deck building. It will provide you with growth, but it won't be the easiest job you've ever had (if you're looking for easy, look elsewhere).

Pros

I worked at Punchcut as a flex Sr. Visual Experience Designer for around 2 years. It was an incredible learning experience, and I got the opportunity to collaborate on some exciting client projects. Punchcut was always so supportive, and they valued the unique skills and perspectives of every creative. I worked on a wide range of projects across different industries, and collaborated with talented project managers, researchers, strategists, UX designers, interaction designers, visual designers, and illustrators. The quality of work was always top notch, and Punchcut’s design process was extremely solid. I thoroughly enjoyed working with them, and always felt like I was part of a team, even as a contractor. I had fun meeting Punchcut members in their SF office over lunch or during events like Config, and during their neighborhood social gatherings. They have an encouraging people culture that emphasizes their employee’s wellbeing. I highly recommend Punchcut as a product design agency for any creative wanting to grow professionally.

Cons

Like many agencies, the nature of the projects were more short-term, and it required being flexible to help out where and when support was needed. For certain projects, there were some weeks where only 50% of my time or less was needed. Sometimes, the expectations of the different responsibilities could've been clearer from the get-go.
