Pros

The people you work with are really great, smart people. It's a very collaborative and fun environment day-to-day. Middle management is also wonderful and make me feel heard. Work-life balance is decent.

Cons

Pay is subpar compared to the market rate and overall company isn't very diverse. Not everyone is given the same opportunities to advance/for leadership, it's not clear how these decisions are made by management and makes it feel hopeless.

Pros

Throughline is unlike any other design firm in the world. The ONLY design firm founded by a Navy CIO, it helps leaders in the US Military, commercial world, federal govt. move from intent to impact using every design strategy you can imagine. It's a world-class work environment in which your creativity and business acumen will grow. I know, I've been part of the company since the very beginning!

Cons

If you're not "ever curious" and looking to do the same thing over and over it's not for you. On the other hand, if you want continuous adventure, learning and fun...
