Vantaggi
There is the chance to work on a really awesome range of projects with really cool details. It's a great portfolio and resume builder!
Svantaggi
Poor work life balance, there is the expectation that employees will work long hours and on weekends. There is a lot of favoritism, politics, and disorganization in this company. Senior managers will intentionally not include certain team members at their own discretion. There are not good opportunities for career advancement within the company. There is close to a 30% turnover rate within the NYC office.
Vantaggi
Lots of support and lots of opportunities to learn and grow my career.
Svantaggi
Just some general company growing pains.

Svantaggi
-Toxic culture from leadership: Inappropriate comments about maternity leave, pressure to sacrifice personal life for deadlines, and a dismissive “figure it out” attitude when staff are overworked. -Lack of empathy: Management openly admits they know staff are overloaded but provides no support. Employees are treated like numbers. -Systemic bias in promotions: There are employees clearly deserving of advancement who are repeatedly passed over in favor of less experienced — and often whiter — external hires. -Dishonest about compensation: Bonuses were promised and never delivered to staff, while leadership announced and collected their own bonuses and celebrated promotions/ profit shares. -High turnover: Within a year, the company lost two tenured female associates, two design directors, the CCO himself, and about 10 out of 20+ NYC designers. That should speak volumes. -Verbal abuse from clients ignored: Instead of supporting staff, management places blame on the team. -Disorganized HR: Constant changes to systems leave employees without proper insurance or guidance on critical issues like taxes and benefits. -Feedback is ignored: Leadership loves to paint a pretty picture, but meaningful concerns go unresolved and unacknowledged. -Declining project quality: The company increasingly takes on low-budget work by slashing bids and compromising on quality — just to get paid. This impacts morale, reputation, and the integrity of the work. This company fosters a harmful environment and is unwilling to make real change. Proceed with caution — or better yet, don’t.
