      Great opportunities and resources, shady business practices and dishonesty

      Pros

      The work was extremely relevant and interesting. great culture and work atmosphere. Lots of resources and room to grow.

      Cons

      I had a negative experience with the specific supervisors I was working under. This is not a reflection on the whole company, so it really depends on who you are working with. I experienced some extremely shady business practices on this team. I was told to bill for jobs that I wasn't working on for weeks at a time. There was also a severe lack of communication regarding procedures and project deadlines. Prepare to be a scapegoat when things go awry due to incompetent supervisors.

      Pros

      Felt a bit like being back at university in regards to the desig aspect of work.

      Cons

      Competition with fellow "team mates" back stabbing. Horrible American cooperation style practice. Make you work stupid stupid stupid long hours. Absolutely horrible experience!!

      Pros

      Everything you can expect from a corporation: High profile names, great projects, a ton of resources. I can seek advice from anyone in the region.

      Cons

      Everything you can expect from a corporation: They will work you. They will find your strengths and pigeon hole you to it. A lot of propaganda about being a one FIRM firm and how you need to contribute to the business. Pay only becomes competitive when you slave away with overtime, which you actually get compensated for. Not only do you have to work hard to show that you want new learning experiences and opportunities, but you have to politically snake your way into it. A designer is a designer and a job captain is a documentation grunt. An inspiring place for interns and a cozy nest for settled in seniors. Everyone in between will have to climb the corporate ladder and play their games.
