Pros

Sometimes you get free lunch

Cons

CEO and Partners do not recognize the value of employees outside of ones directly making money. If you work in a corporate sect such as HR/IT that does not make money, they do not care about your compensation nor work/life balance. They do not understand it, so they believe it is a waste of money. Look elsewhere for an employer that cares.

Pros

The availability of a wide selection of drinks at the bar and unlimited snacks for stress-eating was greatly appreciated. Additionally, the provision of complimentary weekly lunches added to the overall positive experience. The company demonstrates its commitment to fostering a cohesive environment by organizing various events such as trivia night and tree lighting views on the company's premises.

Cons

Upon commencing my role, I was swiftly assigned 12-hour shifts daily to compensate for a displaced designer. As a result, I was unable to complete my onboarding tasks due to the substantial workload in the first month. The design requirements were unclear, necessitating numerous client meetings to elucidate the scope of work. Despite my efforts, the supervisor's expectation for a 30-minute completion timeframe did not align with the actual project magnitude. The work demands are incessant, and the prescribed deadlines are unattainable, leaving minimal time for breaks or concurrent meetings. The prevailing design approaches raise concerns about operational efficiency.
