Pros
Remote work environment. I met some truly passionate and dedicated people. Decent work life balance, never had to work a weekend.
Cons
I was brought on a few months before their acquisition. The environment has steadily declined ever since. 1. They charge you 20$ per pay check for a "Tele-Commuting fee" 2. No sick days 3. Not much time off 4. They do not care about pets. All they want is growth and do not care what they have to do to get it. Even if it means telling lies, omitting important info, and using fake customer quotes. 5. Marketing team does not know what they want and takes it out on the designers because they didn't provide enough direction. Marketing wishes they were designers but they constantly change their minds causing missed deadlines and multiple rounds of revisions. They are incredibly nit-picky and when you ask questions for clarification more than once they get angry that you're questioning them and they belittle you. 6. Too many stake holders want to put their noses into projects and there is absolutely no trust between teams. This causes a bottleneck and said stake holders do not collaborate together so you get conflicting feedback. This holds up deliverables and causes headaches because you're trying to create two different projects for two bosses. 7. No room for growth or learning opportunities. There is no mentorship, managers do not care about teaching new workers or trying to train people for senior positions. 8. They claim to be working on company culture since being bought out by IPG but the environment is not welcoming. Figo went from fairly laid back to the most corporate company I have ever seen. They have a lot of meetings about how a team "should work" (ex. brainstorming and creating word clouds of ideal work situations and how to communicate) but they don't listen to this feedback and don't truly put an effort into making a safe work balance. For employee appreciation day they sent an email stating they were picking 10 employees and giving out 100$ each to the 10 winners. The employees were nominated by other coworkers and this was basically turned into a contest. What a joke. They also sent out 30$ bonus to all employees in 2022 during Christmas. 9. Lack of diversity 10. No organization at all. Files are hard to find. No consistent naming.
