Pros

Many kind people working here. Employees just trying to do the best they can with what they are given. A VERY relaxed atmosphere.

Cons

Under-bid and over-scoped projects leave teams little to no time to realize uninspired cheap designs. Team leaders lack professionalism, expected skills, and leadership. No internal growth. Producers rarely say no to clients, causing radical shifts in scope of work. Management will listen but rarely take action even on serious behavioral matters. Any talent is wasted here; this is a quantity over quality company.

Pros

Employees were empowered to take charge of projects and handle all production and client interactions. The variety of projects was great, and the technologies we used were cutting edge and fun to work with.

Cons

The acquisition brought on some more cumbersome, outdated admin type of red tape (ie., submitting a PTO request). Distributed team members felt a bit cut out of the loop from SF-based ones.
