Pros

As a designer at Fishawack, I enjoy working in the fun, collaborative, and fast paced atmosphere. My department works well as a team and is very supportive. I’ve been a designer for 10 years, but I’m relatively new to the medical communications field, and I find it both interesting and rewarding. While the medical content is rather foreign to me, I like to think that my artwork helps save lives.

Cons

As an international company, we're all over, so it would be nice if we could visit our colleagues more in person. Especially those we work with most. It would also be great if we could get some more people on our team to help alleviate all the new work we're bringing in.

Pros

- Good PTO with paid closure from Christmas to New Years - The people that actually do the work are wonderful to work with, incredibly talented and intelligent, and truly care about the work they are doing

Cons

This is one of the most toxic places I’ve ever worked. Burnout is extremely high. Everything is being done to prop the company up to make it look attractive to investors, but it is creating extremely dissatisfied employees and clients at the expense of this. Don’t believe anything they say about the company values. Your job is to produce and don’t ask questions. Layoffs are frequent and done without thought or understanding of how the work gets done. Remaining team members are left to pick up the slack and try to explain to clients why deadlines are missed and quality is declining. If you value your physical and mental health, do whatever you can to avoid working at this place. The ship is sinking…don’t get on.
