Business Outlook
Pros
Lots of experts in the field, especially among senior technical stuff. Can learn a lot from them. Good quality design if you are lucky and working for a good design director who is willing to stand up to a partner who does not always have the best design sense.
Cons
Lots of power struggle, petty jealousy and trash talking among associates and director associates. You can get away with lots of crap if you're in the " club". Regular employees are underpaid and overworked. No appreciation is shown for hard work. Very difficult place to get ahead or promoted, especially for women. Even if you get promoted, the salary increase is 3% if you're lucky and it's non negotiable.
