Vantaggi
* Different types of clients & exposure to different methodologies, allowing you to expand your skillset * Smart and nice co-workers that are great to work with and learn from * Dog friendly office (when in-person)
Svantaggi
* Bare bones budgets for projects * Lots of OT * Poor benefits- low pay, minimal PTO. Below industry average (though they claim otherwise) * Held to benchmark standards- come review times, they were very focused on your output and negatives, glossing over anything good you did. It felt like gaslighting. The company also stressed the importance of taking care of your mental health during the pandemic, but this was not believable, as there was a huge disconnect. They encouraged you to take time for yourself while offering minimal PTO and holding you to high performance standards, giving no grace for a newly remote environment and the burnout and stress of the pandemic. These expectations were unrealistic, and it felt unfair to be compared to some benchmark standard given the state of the world. Each employee will not hit milestones at the exact same time, and it seems more important to foster employee's growth than compare everyone against one another or some intangible baseline. * Poor communication between the teams- no open communication between lower level employees and project leads and/or design team when working on projects, leading to confusion. * Micro-managing and lack of control over your own time * Not set up for success- e.g., poor training/onboarding * Employees are heavily screened during the interview process, which is excessive given the mediocre pay and minimal benefits
