OK Job - MUST LOVE Bill Gates

Designer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Very nice coworkers, there is a core group of fun people who are doing their best to enjoy making good design in their corner of a large corporate global firm. Benefits are solid Awesome office location near transit. Although the NYC subway sucks now.

Cons

You WILL be designing a global tech dystopia. If the Great Reset and the Chinese Century turn you on, this is the job for you. If you're worried about basic human freedoms, including your own at work, stay far away. Pay is low, hours are long, holidays are not respected. You WILL own nothing, wagie.
