Pros

Very diverse group of people. Good Pay.

Cons

Office environment is cramped. There are literally IKEA (not joking) desks in between peoples cubes because of the lack of space. Turnover is through the roof. Every other week someone was leaving or being laid off. Most people that work there have only been there for 1-2 years. Management has no direction. Chases numerous projects at a time without completion. Switches people from project to project before they are able to complete the project Chases projects to help "speed up" the design process but in reality just creates more busy work. Management also holds grudges and is very unprofessional. Numerous times my boss talked behind peoples backs in meetings without the people being present.

Pros

The company offers competitive pay and a strong benefits package, including a good 401(k), charitable donation matching, and other valuable benefits. Success here often comes to those who are willing to prioritize the company's demands and fully commit to its work culture.

Cons

The culture is one of the most toxic I have experienced. There is an expectation that employees are available around the clock, making work-life balance nearly impossible. Teams are routinely expected to absorb the responsibilities of multiple positions while resources continue to shrink and bonuses become less rewarding. Leadership often relies on fear and pressure rather than inspiration. Instead of creating optimism and empowering employees, messaging frequently centers on competition, missed expectations, and what the company is doing wrong. That tone cascades throughout the organization and creates an environment where people are afraid to speak up or take risks. In my experience, concerns about leadership behavior and workplace culture did not appear to be addressed in a meaningful way. This left many employees feeling unsupported and contributed to low morale, high turnover, and burnout.
