Pros

Decent pay and benefits, room for growth, good job security (because of high demands and low man power), challenging work, and really smart people.

Cons

A lot of overtime and working weekends are required. Terrible work life balance. Managers come in late, leave early, and are hands off. Work is expected while on PTO. Leadership asks a lot of it's employees yet doesn't hold itself to the same high standards of hard work, long hours, and high stress. Favoritism in promotions encourages a cutthroat and manipulative environment. Leadership is ignorant to miserable employees, low morale, and unrealistic expectations.

Pros

Totally remote and the hours that you work can be flexible. The other designers are very friendly and willing to help you out when solving problems. The company provides you with equipment to work with. They also forbid the use of AI in their presentations with is extremely respectable.

Cons

You are paid based on billable hours. Management is strict about how much time you spend on each project, but you also have to make sure to meet a quota of billable hours each week. It can be hard to find a balance and the time counting down while working is stressful.
