Pros

Fellow designers on the team were amazing to work with; always a joy and always willing to help out when they can

Cons

You will be worked ragged, expected to do things not in the job description, and have an unrealistic timeframe to complete most projects. Work life balance is unacceptable - it was common to be contacted after hours to get back online, and working long hours into the evening were not an uncommon occurrence. If a PM decides they dont like you, you will be treated pettily.

Pros

The office was in a decent location and I did not have issues with the people I worked with regularly.

Cons

. Communication between departments is severely broken, making the organization feel fragmented and disconnected. . Simple questions often require being passed between multiple people over several days before getting a clear answer. . There is no shared visibility across teams, leading to repeated duplication of work. . Departments frequently work on overlapping tasks without awareness of each other's effort. . Critical information is often isolated with single individuals and not accessible to others who need it. . The system design actively prevents information from flowing, creating delays and inefficiency. . Even basic work becomes slow and frustrating due to constant information gaps.
