      Pros

      Great coworkers, great opportunities to learn business acumen

      Cons

      High expectations for designers but no opportunity for growth, unless you originated from an internal business move. External hires are worker bees with limited exposure to new advancements within.

      Pros

      Decent benefits, open to training, some people are worth keeping. Job stability for the most part. All technologies available at your disposal. If there's a tool, there's a team.

      Cons

      Very lacking of talent. Dinosaurs all over trying to keep the status quo until they retire. Tons of people without a clue with an opinion. Managers in love of spreadsheets. A culture driven by fear of making mistakes. Driving change is a daunting task. Streamline your technology stack.
