Pros

One might have chance to work on a large scale international project. It is a good place to start a career. Newly graduates can learn a lot if they are willing to.

Cons

It is not a good place for people in their mid-career. Design and technical skills are not valued. People with high skill sets are used for production only, they are not rewarded for their hard work. They are considered as slaves to people who have close relationship with the leadership. Only people who have close personal relationship with the leadership is supported by upper management and get promotions without involving in production.

Pros

* Opportunities to work on international projects and for new employees to freely share their ideas. * Leadership that not only guides design but also supports employees in becoming better professionals and people. * A great LA office environment with a fitting salary. * An office team with excellent skills and knowledge, and great teams that are easy to work with.

Cons

It seems that incorporating more trend-forward designs could lead to even better results, but as a newcomer, I found it challenging to overcome the established methods and the specific direction and style clients wanted. Nonetheless, they consistently delivered solid outcomes.
