Pros

Talented people, innovative products and a sense of passion and drive are a few things that make up Brickfish. The environment oozes with energy and collaboration. Personally, I enjoy both the comfort and creativity that comes with having a transparent and open form of communication. I feel that what I have to say is truly valued, which makes my work feel meaningful. I see also this in my coworkers. Knowing that what they contribute affects the company is a powerful responsibility to have, yet can escalate personal and professional growth tremendously. Brickfish upper management has done a great job at creating an environment that allows employees to freely and confidently present their own perspectives and ideas. This leads to a united atmosphere with mutual respect among all employees and executives. As it relates to work recognition, Brickfish employees are not only rewarded for their successes but also for their hard work and effort. Daily work spans from strategy and creative to technology and execution for current clients in fashion, beauty, CPG, luxury retail, automotive and wine & spirits. We learn something new everyone day because we're fortunate to work on such a variety of clients across many verticals. If you're passionate, driven and strive to be a leader, I'm positive that Brickfish will be an excellent fit.

Cons

There's a lot of work to accomplish and you'll need a determined and focused attitude to do so. We work hard and long, however, there's not a week that goes by where we aren't rewarded with something fun. Whether it's Taco lunch fiestas or Friday luaus (our COO gave out real orchid leis!), we know that the hard work pays off with a little fun.

Pros

Everybody in the office plays their part, but the kindness and energy of the coworkers makes it a fun place to work. Through my experience as a web designer, it was not mostly a heads down job. People took time to talk to each other, help each other and not put blame on others for missed deadlines (if any) The people there work very hard and are rewarded upon completion of deadlines and projects. All of the employees connect in the office and outside of the office sometimes for events that the owner generously throws dinner outings for employees (with birthdays and such) Overall, very happy experience working, not too many complaints.

Cons

Everybody plays their part and everybody has their part. Not much room for moving around or up in a position. When it came down to coding front end, the heavy backend developers were focused on heavy back end so not much help for leaning on others for front end development help (teach yourself when you have the time)
