Pros

Overall, decent people. Free lunches on certain days. Most people here are individually lovely. If do what you're told you'll succeed.

Cons

Unfortunately, I had a really hard time here. If you're a high performer who pushes back, you won't succeed here. This organization not only accepts, but promotes mediocrity. This org punishes designers who speak out, try to uphold the craft, and push for high quality work and thinking. There were limited growth opportunities for me here, and if I had been worse at my job I probably would have been promoted sooner. Lack of competent management is the root cause.

Pros

Great teammates, very collaborative. It’s clear everyone here believes in the mission. Competitive salary

Cons

New leadership is rudderless. Flailing and constantly making changes to leaders. No more long term incentive plan for managers and lower. It feels like they’ve been figuring out things as they go since the acquisition by GTCR. Low opportunity for advancement.
