Pros

Met some good friends working there and we'll always be close.

Cons

The decisions made at this company benefit two people. The owners. They are all about looking cool. The offfice space, parties, their clothes, the soho house, front row seats, personal assistants. It seems they believe if they can appear a certain way, business will flow in. My entire time at WI was spent watching people be laid off. But the owners always seems above the stress we faced every day that we might be next. Now there's like 5 people left in Chicago. But at least the owners are keeping their big offices, giant houses and sick shoe collections. Way to go.
