Pluspunten

Project types are so unique and many really do try to leave a positive impact. Many people are truly kind, especially middle management. Provides decent health insurance, and includes therapy for mental health. Definitely one of the higher salary firms.

Minpunten

Partners at the firm only care about winning clients and awards. They don't seem to understand billing? Everyone gets worked overtime because 10 new iterations are expected to be produced everyday individually, and then scolded for billing too many hours. Upper management needs to pick a lane - healthy work/life balance with profitability or churning through burned out workers with less profit. It's also a very white firm. POC, take care. The implicit bias is sky high. Very stingy with PTO on hire. Very little transparency. There is no negotiation for pay raises, no negotiation for promotions. No one seems to understand how to conduct an annual review? No explanation on how to get promoted. Very weird "we're a family" messaging. Reality checks are frowned upon here. Unhealthy boundaries are celebrated here. Generally uncanny valley positivity.
