Pros

- Interesting work with customers across the globe. - Depending on team, the culture is great. This may be manager dependent. - Benefits package is great - Starting salaries are in line with industry - Good flexibility for home life issues

Cons

- Unnecessary RTO policy for folks who work primarily with external stakeholders - Often overloaded with work, and it's hard to keep up - Pigeon-holing means that you get stuck in the same cycle of work, making advancement a bit difficult - Upper management appears a bit disconnected from the daily grind and comes across as out of touch at times - While starting salaries are decent, advancement is hard, and COL increases are hard to justify the workload impact of the yearly "growth at all costs" mindset

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.
