Pros

The comradeship between colleagues, and the potential of how the projects could they be without the participation of untalented directors without any degree or certificate whatsoever.

Cons

Lack of interest of making the company visible. Lack of goals and commitment with the client and their own staff. No management interest. No benefits at all. No awards-driven policy... and this is just the peak of the iceberg.

Pros

- They genuinely enjoys teaching and sharing knowledge. - Some projects offer international exposure and experience abroad.

Cons

- Poor communication within the team; people rarely interact or collaborate. - Often speaks rudely and micro-manages tasks, leaving little to no sense of responsibility or trust. - The team has drastically reduced from around 20 people to just 4, which should raise concerns. - Employees have been let go suddenly, without prior notice or explanation, including myself after the probation period. - The business appears to be struggling, with few active projects despite claims of international work. - A tendency to hire mainly junior designers to cut costs.
