Pros

Free food choices for morning, noon, and dinner (because of the company)

Cons

This is one of the worst poorly organized companies I’ve ever worked for by far. Don’t work here if you are a designer. I was sold on the job as a designer in the interview process but it turned out to be an absolute sham. My then manager wanted me to join in for a 3 week trial period just to say that the work didn’t measure up 1 week in and was never around to see the work, the company is full of deceitful people who have no interest in company culture that was once established. The company is just recycling designers without ever having the intension of hiring them. AVOID this company because they don’t even value their own branding. The company is hiring people who are clearly not skilled in working in the jobs they have, most employees are young, some are interns, and others are contract workers. Some teams are very poorly organized and use cheap freelance labor to design projects and it shows, their ads are all different and terribly done, most of the ads had old branding and were just reused. Their office hardware for designers didn’t even work and they insisted on designers using their own computers which is NOT good. High-level executives are totally oblivious to all of these issues or they are totally in bed with the idea of abusing designers.

Pros

Unlimited vacation time, decent pay, weekends off

Cons

Very disorganized. Communication is trash. A lot of tools that are supposed to work on the busiest days never work which makes the job difficult and the customers even more frustrating. Their website is completely not user friendly at all. A lot of times it isn't employee friendly either.

Pros

Thistle is an amazing environment to work in! -hardworking & fun group of people all driving towards the company's mission -flexible hours & vacation policy -amazing food in the office (the Thistle food is my favorite perk - we have unlimited access to super health, fresh, and local organic food) -management is prioritizes company culture & values -great people! everyone is here because they want to be and that makes for an awesome/fun work environment

Cons

it's fast growing - which isn't really a con but sometimes things are hectic and pivot quickly but that's one of the most challenging / rewarding aspect of being apart of a startup
