Pros

An inspiring group of designers who somehow, sadly all seem to fall into the toxic BB honeypot. Creative senior management is great despite being completely swamped and overworked.

Cons

There is an old-boys club culture here, where people who 'befriended' the CEO get absolute preference and control over their subordinates, creating a toxic hierarchy where senior management can overrule any decision with a limited context or knowledge of an account/client for their own benefit/ego. BB claims to be a people-first company, when in fact the only thing that rules here is money. So many people have been promised things that have turned out to be the opposite and there have been some absolutely despicable ways of handling letting loyal people go who have helped build up key accounts.
