Pros

This is really a great company with an awesome, highly qualified team

Cons

In the interviews the job is described totally different than it actually turns out. After hiring, nobody really cares if you are happy or not. People are just assigned on projects not considering the qualifications and then everybody wonders why people are frustrated or leaving. The GM is a numbers person (which for the company obviously is great), but he is not people person. The internal communication is terrible. Salary is low and it is not even adjusted to the normal inflation rate. There are talent talks twice a year and these usually turn out extremely demotivating - personal and job development are not really supported.

Pros

Awesome people culture, It is easy to make friends and build great relationship as people are very friendly, curious and talkative. All the people are approachable due to the non-hierarchical attitude of everyone. A good place where to start as a young designer where you can have support by senior mentors and where good ideas and intentions are accepted, no matter what is your level.

Cons

It needs a better planning for how to make good use of the spare time in between projects.
