Pros

I started working with this company 5 years age, at the beginning I was a contractor which was great because I was a student and had other responsibilities. The management and the team members are highly talented and professional, very supportive and helpful. and I've learned a lot working at Pixels 360 over the last few years. Before working with Pixels 360, I worked about ten years with different clients and companies, and to be honest, I never met more respectful, understanding and helpful managements than Pixels 360.

Cons

I can't recall any negative things about this company, other than you need to be professional and know what you are doing .. you might put yourself under pressure that doesn't suit you.

Pros

Really none to speak of. Unfortunately not a good place to work.

Cons

The owner of this company is a neurotic micro manager. She creates a tense work environment by constantly sending projects around with little to no direction and then has outbursts/tantrums when you don't do something exactly the way she would have done it. She expects employees to perform multiple tasks outside of their expected job responsibilities. She wants everything done perfectly but gives no time to do so. The days are extremely long - and even then you are expected to be on call at all times. I stopped working at 10pm one night, only to wake up in the middle of the night to harassing emails and texts asking where I was and why I wasn't working on something. She constantly emails in the middle of the night. No work life balance. Employees are expected to use their own computers/memory. The worst part of working here was the owners inappropriate behavior. She berates employees and looks at everything you do under a microscope, she will even blame you for her errors, so you have to watch your back.

I am sorry this former employee has negative feelings about our company and our leadership. She worked for Pixels 360 in 2015 for about 6 months. She was hired as a senior designer and unfortunately didn’t have the level of skill set we were hoping someone would bring to that position. Although we tried to work with her to see if we could help her grow into this position, we were getting calls from clients who were not happy with the level of her work. In the end, we did lose an account because of the issues with this person and it was at that point that we realized we had to let her go. It was clear that she had just over sold herself and we were looking for someone more senior. We currently have a team of super talented designers who work very hard to meet the high expectations of our clients. We are located in the Hingham shipyard and have offices that overlook the Harbor. We provide our employees with computers and laptops suited with all necessary software. We also make sure our employees have any additional equipment, subscriptions and/or tools needed to help them succeed. To help alleviate the sometimes busy days, we plan many fun non-work related activities. We host at least 2 company sponsored lunch outings per month, seasonal company get togethers and bigger events like a day at the Red Sox for the whole team. We do look for a certain caliber of designer – we owe it to our clients to make sure we consistently provide them with a high-level of service.

Pros

None to speak of unfortunately.

Cons

As many have said here i think it's important to mention the high stress environment. I think it's unfortunate how degrading management is to employees. At a certain point you have to look at the excuses your giving as to why employees aren't meeting your "expectations" and consider the fact that perhaps you don't have a good or motivating management style. If you want employees to work hard and enjoy working for you they need to feel empowered and not timid to make mistakes for fear of hearing all about it and getting a scolding from the boss (which happens over every little thing.) i have never worked in an environment such as this and think it's unprofessional. What's worse is it's always something that is open to interpretation - and you have to please one person basically, and that person is not the client. There have been many talented people who i've worked with here and i don't agree with management's belief they weren't up to the task, it simply isn't true.
