the company does have some good talent there, and the other designers i worked with were very cool.
some of the b.s. things were that you had to seriously put in 40 hours... exactly at least per week. you had to keep detailed accounts of what you did each day.
xyz client. 15 minutes yada yada, 5 minutes doing yada yaday. took about 15-30 minutes every night before you left to add everything in to the system of what you did. kind of a pain but it got you out of working for hte last 30 minutes of every day.
the male boss is SUPER high energy and actually runs through the office, which kinda puts you on edge cause when you hear him running towards the design department you're like 'oh fuck... hope he's not running to me.'
some of the work sucked but some was really cool.
and, it had an in house print shop so you could print your shit off in back once in a while and have some real nice prints of your work.
also there was a warehouse in back for the print shop. on down days you could go in the back and it was big enough to hide a bit and catch a 30 minute nap. haha.
part of me would now recommend the place, but part of me wouldn't. i guess it boils down to what kind of a worker you are. i'm more laid back, like to surf, like to fuck around when i can, but i've never been late with deadlines. they actually said i could no longer come to nt. kinda sucked.
if they're still hiring when you get to town i'll let you know.
i still talk to the other designers there and they say it's getting better after the cd and pm left/got asked to leave.
