Pros
None really at this point in time. Just working with the other IC designers, which are all gone, except one now.
Cons
Working in design and product was very difficult for growth. The design manager doesn't help you grow, can bully you at times, make up behavior to make himself look good. It isn't a good place to be. There never was support and that is part of the managers job, but if anything you are always being attacked even when you are doing a good job and your other colleagues see it. There is no process, designers are handled as consultants vs really being a strategic partner. They will tell you to work only on features and try to sell you on a vision but no great work really gets done here. Work is putting out fires a lot of the time, which is fine from time to time - but not always. I blame this on management and product. As designer we have tried to push ideas but always got pushed back and never done. The design manager will also make up work, have us do it, and it wouldn't be useful once we actually get eyes on it. If we went ahead with designs and worked closely with users to ensure we're building right, the manager will take it upon himself and not let you move forward with it or take control of it. This then pushes you out of the project and has happened to every designer on the team. I wouldn't recommend joining the design team for anyone they are reaching out to. At least not under current management. They have also removed my last review, which is sketchy so reposting again.
