Pros
You receive a lot of experience when you work 80 hrs a week. Who needs sleep anyways?
Cons
Y’all. This is a company that, after laying of 40+ staff members during the covid pandemic, was convinced that it was essential to redesign their logo. Sounds logical. Let’s pay a principals nephew 100k to type out “TVS” in the Futura typeface, throw it in Illustrator, and pay for a supersized logo for the lobby. All the while the actual workforce is drowning trying to make up for the lost support. I guess what I’m trying to say is that the people in charge aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed or they just don't care about their workers. Pick your poison. I met many friends here, but TVS is a shell of what it once was. The people we needed to complete the work were laid off while upper management kept their 250k+ salaries. If you interview you will only find project managers that want to tell people what to do and interns that don’t know what to do. The meat of this burger is gone. You can either take that as an opportunity or a warning. Depends on how you want to look at life. BUT I personally guarantee that if you decide to join this firm as a mid-level designer it will be an uphill battle where you will be pressured into working 80hr weeks. You may want to factor that into your salary request.
