Pros

A culture change is happening, where wellbeing and inclusion are being promoted. Workwise, good job opportunities given the size of the business.

Cons

Agile working embraced blindly, producing huge amount of bureaucracy. Typical of a big company, where 20% of the workforce is doing 80% of the job. Very slow and conservative decisions, lack of innovation. It's almost impossible to grow in the same team, promotions do not exist and to progress one must find another opportunity within the company, but in a different team. Lateral moves never bring a monetary benefit, so often people must leave the business to increase their salary with experience.

- Amazing work culture and work life balance - As a designer the world is your oyster of how you want to grow and develop - Manager is amazing at communicating your needs and empathizing with you - Everyone is driven to be a better designer and so much support from everyone

Cons

- Having to work sometimes really early or nighttime due to time zone differences with some of the people we work with - Projects & goals sometimes have to change in the week to better fit business needs and team goals.

Pros

Great work life balance Supportive environment

Cons

If you fall in the less than 3 years experience bucket, your best shot is the new graduate positions which have terrible pay and full-time employment after 2-years is not guaranteed.
