Business Outlook

Pros

Full of makeup, femininity, and creativity! Excellent compensation. Full of hugely talented, dedicated, and smart people. Fun loving group! They have a Halloween costume contest!

Cons

Difficult to move up. The really fun/creative projects are left to the higher ups (VPs, etc.). Many of the talented people working there talked to me about being dissatisfied with their work because they want their ideas to be heard.
