Pros

Great people, unlimited PTO, decent benefits. I honestly loved my coworkers and the brands I worked on, which kept me going at the company.

Cons

There was basically no growth potential for most employees, especially if you're based in the US. A handful of people in the UK get promoted - and those same people got promoted 3+ times in my 2 years at the company - but there's no upward mobility for most, even if you have double the experience as the people getting promoted all the time.
