it's great but nice to be honest sometimes - Recensione dipendente - Sales and Marketing Manager presso CSI Media

The company really wants to do well by its staff and clients. They try to create a family based environment where everybody matters. Really varied work where there is no time to get stale or bored in your job. I love the fast pace of the environment, but also the culture and the people I get to work with. Really competitive salary / package, lots of flexibility which has helped me with my personal life. Everybody has a voice at this company with a true open door policy.

If you don't like a fast paced environment, this isn't the place for you. If you don't like responsibility it also wouldn't be the right fit, as everybody from the newest junior to the most senior developer is given responsibility.

- Responsive to ability and enthusiasm. The more you do, the more they will give you. - Varied projects. Whether you're just doing design, development or crossing between the two, there is plenty to keep your brain active and periods of 'just get the work done' are broken up nicely by frequent challenges. - Fantastic company culture. Organisation feels flat, but you know exactly who to task about certain things at any particular time and are encouraged to interact with directors. - Good pay which is consistent across hourly and overtime rate. Staff encouraged to take overtime but never at the cost of life quality. - You know your place. In some company's, its easy to feel like your work is just a small part of a big machine with no real significance. At CSI Media, you recognise where your work is going and when you're informed of the impact it's having on a customer's business, you truly feel valued and significant. - One of very few places I've worked where you genuinely feel that everyone cares about you as an individual as much as a co-worker. - They have the best office dog on the planet.

- Waterfall model makes iteration difficult and creates production bottlenecks. - CMS demands that clients can 'do whatever they want' restricts how effectively designers can answer briefs and works against the client's best interests. - Sometimes, design goals seem more based around 'giving visitors options' than 'give visitors solutions'. This made certain projects feel like exercises in balancing colour and shape, moreso than the engineering of an engaging, meaningful interaction between business and customer.
