Pros

- setup - chairs - office - coffee - flexible schedule

Cons

- thorough lack of competency in management and leadership - ever-changing company full of heartfulness communication and the next big thing is coming each year - be prepared to get on the naughty list if you don't agree with your studio partner and quickly be removed from the graces of your position - favouritism and all the toxic thing that float around it will be there, it'll take a maximum of 2 months to see it - if you're not going for a run in the morning you might get mislead that there is no real opportunity for you to develop professionally - prepare yourself to take some extra work hours due to bad decisions on the client-side without consulting with reality - it will be a common practice that you'll hear that you are not good enough and you need this and that and that's why you struggle and can't develop in a self nurtured unicorn that doesn't lack anything

Pros

Supportive colleagues, a friendly environment, and a strong sense of teamwork. Interesting projects with real learning opportunities, good flexibility, and a lot of trust and autonomy. Communication is generally clear, and people are willing to help.

As with most fast-moving companies, priorities can occasionally shift and some periods can be busier than others.
