Pros

- Good experience if you are lucky and/or are quickly promoted after the Grad scheme - A lot of trainings to choose from and managers who encourage learning - Good work/life balance - Good salary for the area

Cons

- Grad Scheme is very poorly designed. You can get lucky and have a brilliant experience, but that's for about 25% of the graduates. The rest do admin roles and get the worst responsibilities. - HR support during the grad scheme does not exist. - Performance is not considered when finishing the grad scheme.

Pros

- Amazing work culture and work life balance - As a designer the world is your oyster of how you want to grow and develop - Manager is amazing at communicating your needs and empathizing with you - Everyone is driven to be a better designer and so much support from everyone

Cons

- Having to work sometimes really early or nighttime due to time zone differences with some of the people we work with - Projects & goals sometimes have to change in the week to better fit business needs and team goals.

Pros

Great work life balance Supportive environment

Cons

If you fall in the less than 3 years experience bucket, your best shot is the new graduate positions which have terrible pay and full-time employment after 2-years is not guaranteed.
