Pros
I'm a recent hire, employed for less than a month. Firstly, everyone here is great. Friendly demeanor, diverse backgrounds, eclectic personalities and super smart. Anyone who's ever worked with difficult co-workers knows that the wrong people make any place to work, the wrong place to work. The work environment is very refreshing. Even as a new employee, I feel free to voice my opinions and concerns, be it about the snacks or the direction of new design. In fact, expression is encouraged. It's very clear when they hire you, it's because you have something to offer. So speak up if you have something to say. Perhaps most importantly, the goal we're working toward here is significant. The impact will not be to a certain demographic or certain locale, it will be global. And transformative. When all is said and done, I'll be able to proudly say that I was working to make a difference. A real difference. For everyone.
Cons
It's a bit of a hassle to get to tucked away in the arts district of downtown LA. On the flip side, it's an awesome area of town and the trip to work constantly reminds me why we do what we do.
