Pros

Nice design to physical work space.

Cons

Coworkers come across as welcoming, but you will quickly learn no one has your back during faults if you are new. If you are not TRULY bought into the culture, it is hard to take seriously. Extremely low pay for hours you are asked/required to work. I was hired into one location, and moved into another I was not as passionate about without any sort of conversation prior to. Hard conversations twisted, i.e they have a script in their head they want you to follow/certain words you 'need' to say.

Pros

You will meet amazing people every day. Lots of perks from big name companies trying to get into the space.

Cons

No work/life balance. Crazy pressure from the top Executives. Employees burn out very quickly.

Pros

The teams you work with will be great and extremely talented There used to be a lot of opportunity to travel (not anymore)

Cons

- insane hours (15 hour days insane) - no actual ability to be creative because there are so many conflicting creative directions - they just want inexperience pixel pushers - Execs are weirdly overly involved in the creative process - final projects end up looking terrible because of this
