Pros

Most departments will allow you to work from home if you are sick, or shift your hours around in order to pick up kids from school, etc. Generally, people are really nice. There's every kind of granola bar in the break room, along with other snacks. The growth in the company has a positive outlook. The boss tries to get to know his employees and the higher ups are friendly.

Cons

4 project managers have been let go or quit in the past 2 years. Only one person has stayed on the team for longer than that. It's a high stress job, made more stressful by the supervisor. The company is experiencing a lot of growth and is not always dealing with the "growing pains" very well. There's not great communication between departments, so it's not always defined who is supposed to do what role in on-boarding clients etc. which results in sales setting things up wrong or project managers not knowing that a project was supposed to get started. Teams are overworked as growth outstrips their capacity to perform. There was no mention of bonuses or raises while I was there. At one point, the company stopped paying vendors due to some late funding from investors, which ruined a lot of good relationships with vendors. My supervisor would get mad at me for not doing something his way, but then told me to stop asking questions and figure things out myself. I often felt antagonized, rather than supported. I really liked this job on days that I didn't have to interact with my boss.

Pros

It was a good place to work and especially intern at. You get a variety of projects that challenge you to grow. The co-workers and management were good and friendly people. They cared about the experience their intern would have and were very patient. There was a lot of opportunity to improve skills and learn. Flexible schedule. Free snacks and a good breakfast was provided every other Friday morning.

Cons

Loved it as a social media/marketing internship, but since there were no other graphic designers on staff at the time it was a bit harder to learn as much in that realm. Some of the other workers do have experience with the Adobe suite though and can help with questions. Also, at the time, there were not enough computers so I worked on a mid-sized laptop for the internship. It was not a big deal though. Overall, I would highly recommend an internship at Lingotek.
