Pros

Innovative thinking occurs and happens with seasoned, experienced leadership in design. In conjunction with young designers some good projects are implemented.

Cons

Some Project Managers are narrow in their vision of what can be successful design options to test with a client. The opportunities are shut down internally before the ideas reach the client.

Culture, schedule flexibility, depending on management, remote work, and employee owned, okay benefits

Cons

Parking sucks. The office is in downtown so you have pay just about any where you park. Work is repetitive or stagnant sometimes.
