Don’t work here - Anonymous employee Grandesign Employee Review

Owner/CEO really actually cares about your personal growth and speaks often and candidly about the company vision with even junior employees. Opportunity to work on really fun work and good vibes with fellow employees.

Busy season is lots of work and stress

- Flexible PTO and work from home (Con - hardly any time to take advantage of PTO) - Very cool and unique events, so there is never a dull moment. - People are nice

- CULTURE: "Work hard, party harder" doesn't work for most people. Especially on weeknights staying out past midnight. It is a drinking culture first and foremost. - Pay is below average. No OT, either. - Speaking of no OT, I've pulled all-nighters on-site for activations with no extra compensation. I've slept at the office. And when I would catch the redeye home from an event, I was still expected to show up to work, on time, with minimal sleep. I don't mind putting in a few extra hours, but when I'm working 80+ hours in a week on an event, setting/cleaning up and managing activations from dusk til... dusk, I want some compensation for my time, and to not be shamed for needing to catch up on sleep the next day and coming in late.
