Pros

Excellent cadre of entry-level staff who inspire good wok ethic to those around them; good benefits

Cons

Most divisions of the company have a generally antiquated outlook on marketing, social media, and streamlining operations via use of technology. Also, employee age and tenure are rewarded/recognized far more than genuine talent, hard-work and innovative contributions. All in all, I wouldn't not recommend that young professionals (especially those who have a skill set orientation that speaks to creativity and "big picture" ideas) because professional development and career advancement is very limited.

Pros

Great coworkers to be around, great benefits, work-life balance was perfect before the middle management layoffs. Collaborating with teams is constant and helpful for the design process.

Cons

They cut the research team, relying on designs to take on that plus end-to-end products, which leaves to heavy work loads and late nights. Deadlines are rather quicker than usual since the reorg.
