Pros

Flexibility in most areas. Great health and child care benefits

Cons

Growth is based on networking. Sometimes leaders push to promote their friends and family even though they add the job req on paper. You will interview for a job and hear from others who will be chosen and that actually happens. Pay is low compared to other companies. Job security is minimal. You are unable to plan long life events like buying a home or cat

Pros

Competitive pay and benefits. Opportunity to influence work across a large design organization. Collaborative colleagues, strong executive support for design, and exposure to strategic initiatives that impact millions of customers.

Cons

The size of the organization can create coordination challenges. Teams often manage competing priorities, and operational processes can feel heavy at times. Success requires patience and strong stakeholder management skills.
