Pros
I recently started at Speck Design - my second job after obtaining my undergraduate degree. Speck was acquired by FutureBrand over a year ago and, while I've heard that there were some adjustment problems, overall it's been a positive experience.
Pros:
- New hires are AMAZING. They work hard, are good leaders, and contribute to a positive work environment.
- CEO takes into consideration my strengths, likes, and dislikes, to help me create a job that I enjoy and is useful to the company.
- Tuesday lunches and Thursday happy hours!
- We have a small company feel (only 20 people in our office) but the benefits of being owned by a larger company.
- Schedules are flexible and management is understanding when you need to leave early or take time off.
- Leadership cares about your personal growth and progress.
- The new space looks and feels nice and contributes to a fun, collaborative environment.
Cons
Cons:
- It took awhile to really solidify my job description, but management has always been very open to open communication and proactivity to find solutions.
- Some people are still holding on to negativity from the past - but honestly, I think the company has come a long way and will only continue to get better and keep growing. New hires and leadership have been awesome.
