Pros

You'll love the people you work with. They are truly experts and dedicated to their craft, but also not too intense with workload compared to other design firms. Good projects & work-life balance.

Cons

Perhaps too much focus on productivity metrics / timesheets. Super cost-conscious to the point it makes staff second guess everything they do that is outside of a billable hour, almost like a law-firm. Then again, perhaps this is why they are more profitable than other design firms.

Since the firm began, Art Gensler's philosophy has been to empower everyone to win.
