Pluspunten

Some very bright people there, and a handful of talented and nice ones. Intellectually stimulating environment - they invest in thought leadership. The projects are interesting - a niche area, but sadly most don't move past concept.

Minpunten

Infighting, politics and a long history of one man running the show have made it very difficult for this company to modernize and stay relevant. Too much talk, not enough action. Overly academic. Monoculture of people from ITP. Management very controlling. Principal designer has final say in all creative and undermines creative team, making their whole effort feel pointless and creative sub par. Teams must manage for him and for the client. Very difficult for an outsider to penetrate the culture. And a few really bitchy and toxic people poison the environment.

Minpunten

So many things... Management & Culture - ESI breeds a high-school like environment, in that it's very clear the old dogs run things and play favorites. If you're looking to get ahead or work in a different way than they like, you're out of there. They will not work with you, you need to be prepared to bend to their will or be let go. What's more frustrating is I had major challenges when I started because of the previous person's work. It was poorly designed and executed and needed a complete overhaul. There was no onboarding and when I asked for assistance or background information, no one could help me because they didn't even know and weren't willing to figure it out. I don't think anyone understood the challenge of the environment I was given. Definitely was not explained to me when I took the position. However, they were not concerned with my adjustment, only that I put bandaids over bullet wounds. Bottom line: no one there actually cares about you, your work or value. Only that you get challenging tasks done on their timetable. Otherwise, you're gone. Perhaps that's why they use so many freelancers. They like to dispose people.
