Vantaggi
My direct manager (senior graphic designer) was fantastic. LOVED her. There were some gems at this company, but they all got axed during the recession... Quality of the work and the crap in-house CMS went down (you get what you pay for, guys)... Pizza Friday was great, but so boring after 2 years... Carol, the office manager, is awesome. Happy hour with the group was always fun. Still is!
Svantaggi
CHEAP CEO. SO SO SO cheap. Stuffing extra-small cubicles into every square inch of the office space (including the reception area), while keeping a HUGE office to himself... I once went on vacation for a week, and when I came back my desk had been given away to a new hire. I was forced to work in the "Map Room"... a large, practically empty, temperature-controlled room that the CEO keeps his collection of maps in (his other business is Mapsage)... It was January and I was freezing... After a few weeks I refused to work in the office again until they could provide me a desk. I worked at home for two months. It was wonderful for me, but I was embarrassed for ITM. Very long hours, and often I'd get to work and the doors would be locked... I'd have to sit and work on my computer (my PERSONAL computer, because they didn't provide me with one) until someone showed up to let me in.
