      Tons of potential hampered by poor management

      Pros

      Depends on department. Soft pros include on sight cafe. Parking. Gym. Good employee discount (on products you might not want).

      Cons

      No solid business plan. Disorganized. Poor talent management with high turnover. Uninspiring, stubborn, exec team. Lack of strategy from sales, marketing, design. No talent development. The wrong leaders leading. Vague performance reviews and incentives (often meddled with).

      Pros

      There are many creative, dynamic and intelligent employees to interact and learn from.

      Cons

      Executives. The "Peter Principle" has occurred here and some are morally corrupt.

      If you get a job here - oh brother your job search ain't over.

      Pros

      The co-workers you'll meet are wonderful! By the end, they were the only thing keeping me there.

      Cons

      - There's a VERY high turn-around. Face the fact - if they don't like you they'll find a reason to cut you. And they WILL cut you eventually. - The exec team doesn't know what they want. They preach about being innovative, original, and being true to design but when you try and pitch new ideas they hate it. - There's WAY too many revisions made. Sometimes designers will spend 6 months working on something that will get cut right before line review. - A lot of overtime. Just don't bother having another life.
