Challenging but rewarding designing from within

Business Outlook

Pros

Smart colleagues, great team, and challenging work. A buttoned-down company but group dynamic is loose to help balance outside stresses. Relaxed group approach keeps things from getting too heavy when outside pressures build. A focus on growing team members. Giving people a chance to add new skills, attend events, and coaching for speaking. Chances to experiment when the moments are right. Your work gets seen by customers who love it.

Cons

As with most internal design groups, communication with product is a never-ending adventure. Some days you have to be an educator as much as a designer.
