Pros

The company's great history, iconic brand and human-centric mission are the best things about it. There are a lot of dedicated staff people who care about the mission and getting things right.

Cons

There is a lot of lip-service paid to things like company culture, innovation, leadership, etc. and not so much commitment and follow-through on those things. It's tough to change and to become more market-oriented and competitive and the leadership doesn't seem to demonstrate enough commitment to these things to be convincing to the broader staff.

Pros

WFH policy and great coworkers.

Cons

Role eliminated while executives and higher-ups spend ridiculous amounts of money on travel to "conferences", while transitioning the team to all contract/external employees to alleviate "budgeting" costs. Leaders continue to appease to higher-ups and C-level executives without a care or understanding of current team dynamics to protect themselves in a cutthroat and toxic environment filled with corporate politics. 0 growth for internal designers at below market salaries (20-25%) and below average benefits- when mentioned to leaders, profits are increasing YOY, yet the discussion becomes a "let's circle back" while 10+ contractors are immediately brought on board.
