Pros

Great hardworking colleagues Decent benefits Support for professional development A lot of promoting from within and movement between departments Good level of autonomy

Cons

Appearances and revenue take precedence over substance and practicality Unmanageable workloads for many. There's a difference between pushing staff to grow and pushing them off a cliff. The CEO hopes you are working 50 hours per week, and you will be. And skipping lunch, and working at home in the evening. Off-putting desire to be like Corporate America (see above) No training upon being hired Location

Pros

All of the staff here are intelligent, high-performing individuals, which forces me to elevate my own job performance. Everyone here is a family and takes a team-oriented approach. Management is VERY invested in employees professional development and simply wants to see staff grow in their time here. CEO is extremely inspiring and has a great vision for where our company is going. The work we do influences thousands of kids every year, and helps inspire creativity all over the world, which is a very rewarding mission. Company continues to grow and get better every year!

Cons

Not the right environment for somebody who wants to work just for a paycheck. You can’t get away with minimum performance, as everybody is constantly challenging you to get better and see what you can bring to the table (not entirely a negative if you are a hard worker).
