Pros

Decent client list and some unique ways of approaching design. Some great people to work with on the design side. Pay was okay.

Cons

Although the work was interesting, the project direction and management was the worst I have ever been involved with. Mainly because management was horribly inexperienced. Barrows seems to hire young people, who were not qualified to lead a team. They also seem to get rid of people that have families or other commitments that could prevent them working 12 to 14 hour days. If you're considering working here, approach with caution...don't be fooled by all the money they might offer, because believe me, you won't be happy. Also, beware of the "high school" culture.

Pros

Don't believe the hype. Caution to others, many of these reviews have been posted by HR or the Exec team to paint a positive picture of defunct company.

Cons

Too many to list. Keep on looking elsewhere!
