Vantaggi
I've had an excellent experience at Workshop. When I was having trouble working with a difficult manager, they were very open to addressing my concerns and found an appropriate role for me elsewhere in the firm. My current manager is lovely - I receive clear direction and kind, constructive feedback. My role requires frequent interaction with the firm's leadership team and I've found them to be generous, kind, and open to feedback. They obviously care very deeply about their work and taking care of their employees. They are dedicated to rewarding performance, which shows up in generous annual bonuses and consistent salary raises. The culture at Workshop is also very strong. The firm is very clear about their values and actively strives to meet them. There are always a ton of events going on sponsored by the firm, like happy hours, trainings, vendor events, parties, and team outings. The staff seem to enjoy working together and are great at welcoming new team members.
Svantaggi
Designers tend to work long hours around deadlines, but that seems pretty standard for the industry. I've heard from colleagues that some project leaders are more difficult to work with than others.
