Pros
• Great work life/balance • Great location • Most employees are easy to get along with and very laid back. • Some cool clients. • Amazing workplace set-up
Cons
• CEO can't creative direct, but insists on wearing both hats. He refuses to relinquish control, yet has very limited hands-on design experience. Anyone who understands design can see through his cookie-cuter approach. He's very savvy when it comes to the business side of design, but lacks the practical experience to properly understand actual design. Prepare to flatline as a creative. • Management is the worst. Poor decision making, and the owning partner is old school in all the worst ways, but somehow simultaneously childish and just as clueless. I hate to use such harsh terms, but there's really few other words to so graciously explain his ineptitude. He only cares about you as far as what you can provide for him, and not the slightest bit about you as a person.
