Pros

Very international, career friendly, scientific in their approach to design and usability.

Cons

Incredibly frustratingly corporate. Feels very US-corporate. Hated the "buzzword"-feeling presentations (DNA training and such). Being in a team tended to make your field of work very narrow; you only work on a designated spot on the site and that's it for at least a few months on end.

Pros

Great Location (downtown in the loop) Convenient Hours (9-5) Paid days off that most companies don't offer (Martin Luther King Day, Presidents Day) Some of the people are very nice Decent health insurance

Cons

The compensation here is terrible and the pay is very low. They set the bonus goal so high, that hardly anyone in the company achieves it. Management encourages you to ask questions, but when you do, they yell at you and tell you to figure it out on your own. They can't even explain to you how the bonus structure works. They spend ridiculous amount of money on lavish, fancy parties to keep their clients happy. Most of the clients are angry because customer service provides them with such poor service. The workers around you are constantly chatting about their personal life and things you should not bring into work, which makes it very difficult for you to concentrate on your work. Brown nosing and kissing up here will get you much further than actually being good at your job. If this is your type of company, you would be a good fit. Otherwise, there are much better companies out there that will appreciate your hard work and effort. This office also has a very high turnover rate, which should tell you all you need to know.

Pros

Possibility to make business decisions on a relatively low level - good ideas get picked up relatively quickly. The impact of your work for end customers is very visible, this gives me the feeling I can really contribute. The atmosphere is open and the organization is flat, you can ask anyone anything and people want to help you. Data driven decision really helps here. Nice people to work with.

Cons

It is not always clear what is expected from you: you are responsible yourself to decide one what you need to do to make your efforts successful. The focus is very clearly on the customer and you are judged on the return on investment of your time spent - there is little room for messing around for a bit (even if on the long term this might be beneficial).
