Pros
Career Opportunities:
Hard work, responsibility, and dedication are rewarded with recognition and opportunity for growth. Day-to-day you get to work in many different aspects of the design process, and with Zeterre's talent for unique, exceptional design, it makes it difficult to get bored.
Work/Life Balance:
Being a small office, you have a large responsibility to your work. That being said, the work/life balance is great, and is especially enhanced by a friendly, comfortable, and beautiful office environment. I was rarely asked or expected to work late, and when I was, it was for good reason.
Culture & Values:
The company culture is nicely balanced: cocktail hours, lunch-and-learns, floral arranging, etc. You get to know your co-workers very well, and everyone feels like part of the team.
Cons
Decent benefits, though you don't get the same amount of options that might be available at a larger company.
