Pros

There are some genuinely good people that work here. You won't be stabbed in the back, yelled at, or berated ever. People come together to solve problems and work on really difficult projects.

Cons

If you are in your mid career stage and you are looking to make the jump to management, you are out of luck here. Managers tend to get promoted to wherever they feel comfortable and then sit there for 10-20 years, except if the CEO personally likes you - then you have your pick of whatever job you want. Many smart people work their butts off, do all the right things, and then are passed over for promotion or just get tired of waiting around to move up, so they leave. Turnover of smart mid career people is huge because of this. I was there for 5+ years and not once did anyone ask me what my career goals/aspirations were.

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.
