Pros
Beautiful View of the Manhattan Skyline on the Hudson river Opportunity to make lasting friendships and meet cool people State of the art design setup Central location in Jersey City right off the Path Station This is a great place to work at if you are entry level and don't plan on staying long.
Cons
Benefits are bare minimum Salary is below market rate opportunity to grow in your department are based on how well you are liked and how much pull your line manager has with the higher-ups. Sexual Harassment and Racial Bias runs rampant in this office and management does little to nothing to enforce, especially if the perp is their friend or another manager. Promises made by management upon hiring you are not followed through. Favoritism is out of control here. Your performance reviews are heavily centered around your personality and how popular you are, not how well you do the job. No office manager or HR manager to take care of the employees Management time polices salaried employees and forces them to stay late for work if they do not work approximately 40hr per week. however if you stay late you are not paid overtime. Americans get <14 vacation days, Brits get 20+ Budget for team outings, holiday parties, and celebratory outings are very low for the Remote offices yet in London they are excessively lavish. Communication skills across the company is seriously lacking. Encouragement of creativity and ideas are implied, however is subject to the senior or lead designer's personal preference. So much red tape and bureaucracy. Too much favoritism is given for loyalty to the company, basically you can be completely incompetent and still hold power if you've been there the longest. Bonuses are tiny. Most departments are understaffed by HQ because they choose not to fill empty positions. Kitchen setup/office snacks are seriously lacking
