Pros

TWF is a place that does things that have never been done before--they are risk takers and innovators. Not EVERY project is new, but they treat every project as an opportunity to reinvent.

Cons

This is not a place where the projects always have clear cut goals. There is a lot of ambiguity where "reinvention" is concerned, and you have to be comfortable with that. If you need to be told what to do and how to do it, stay away from this place.

Pros

Wonderful client list with innovative projects to work on. Management team is smart and takes care of the staff, coolest office space ever and everyone works as a team. Highly recommend working here!

Cons

There are very high expectations working at the Wonderfactory since their entire staff at every level is very senior and hands on. You have to be a self starter to be successful especially since the teams aren't bloated like other agencies. The founders are hands on and not just figure heads - which is a positive attribute. .. can't really think of any true cons

Pros

Cool office. I heard there was rooftop acess, but I don't think I was in the right clique to get invited up.

Cons

Projects are grossly underscoped. If you try to give an accurate level of effort for design work, you're ignored, patronized and mocked in public. So whatever you do - don't take a day rate as a contractor. I worked 14 hour days to meet my deadlines because they wouldn't listen to me on about how much work there was to do. And it turns out I was 100% right in my scoping of the work. Innovation is frowned upon. If you come up with cool design ideas, it just threatens creative leadership. They will make your life very difficult if you threaten them.
