Pros

An incredibly diverse and supportive community of designers and professionals with unparallel synergies between offices and regions.

Cons

Finding your niche through larger project teams and defining yourself can be challenging given the project size or complexity for younger staff. Navigating the path to client relationships is never easy, and not impossible, but like anything takes time to break through.
