Pros

People are kind and collaborative, work from home

Cons

Lack of exciting client work. The pay is well below market rate for software engineers and designers in NYC. More of a corporate feel and not a startup environment. Culture struggles to keep up with high attrition rate.

Pros

A great place to get started and learn about user experience design. Most people are genuinely friendly. Fun company events and activities. Some clients are good portfolio pieces.

Cons

Since the acquisition, the focus has been on increasingly on financial results over meaningful output. The mission is fuzzy - a drive for scale for scale's sake. Although the company claims for transparency, important information is delivered haphazardly, causing anxiety and turmoil that could be easily avoided. Consultancy nature results in projects getting designed but never shipped and used by real people. Career progression is opaque, friends with management get better deals. Some clients are bad, and people might get "stuck" on them for several months. The company acknowledges challenges but has little leverage of pipeline negotiations since acquisition. The company doesn't have a strong stance on backing professional opinions in a consultancy setting - a lot of effort is put on making clients happy, in detriment of better output/craftsmanship.

Pros

There are some truly smart people at the company and there are many opportunities to learn from a technical perspective.

Cons

Highly cliquish culture; either you are part of the 'in' crowd or you are permanently shunned/ignored upper management. A contributing factor is that they hire many new college grads so average age is quite low. I think it's a decent first stop for a new graduate but I would not recommend it for anyone with some experience under their belt.
