Pros

If you're looking to switch careers, this can be a good place to get your start. They're generally not concerned with experience and will give you opportunities to own whole projects (training/support will not be provided and recommendation will be ignored, but you will be accountable for outcomes).

Cons

This isn't a real product design department. Leadership is inexperienced, projects are poorly managed, and quality standards are low. Most design work does not make it into product and most products fail to launch. This group primarily exists as support for sales presentations.

Pros

The work environment is great. A beautiful open floor office plan with modern design and lounges to work or collaborate with team members. The agency cultivates a creative environment and most if not everyone has a voice to provide feedback. There are few barriers between you and upper management. Work is diverse and has the opportunity to make a real impact, even generate big profits.

Cons

Middle and upper managers seem inexperienced though open to suggestion. There is an inability to say "no"at all levels. There is little process or structure and projects are often started that don't seem to align with the plan or aren't technically feasible; ending up going no where. Priorities constantly shift often resulting in lost effort and unfinished work. Technology and design are often not on the same page.
