Diversity Much? - Avis employé Employé (anonyme) Jones Knowles Ritchie

- One of the top design studios in NYC/Globally. - Work with major global brands. - Led by industry leading talent.

- High turnover (likely because of intensive work hours and work dynamic) - Slow project dynamic (1 branding project could take years to be done) - Studio's emphasis is on creative department, not equally across other departments (account, Strat, etc)

- Exposure to Major Brands: You’ll get to work with some of the biggest brands in the industry—great for your portfolio and career growth. - Exceptionally Talented Team: Designers and creative specialists are top-notch. - Strong Industry Reputation: Lots of awards and industry notoriety—especially if you're on the right projects.

- Poor Work-Life Balance: Expect long hours and little personal time. The culture subtly encourages work obsession, and burnout is real. - HR Prioritizes Optics: As other reviews have pointed out, the HR team often seems more focused on protecting the company's image than addressing employee concerns. - Cliquey Culture: The work environment can feel exclusive or political, especially if you’re not part of Design or the Account teams. - Lack of Process: Project Management is expected to drive the work, yet are often overlooked & undervalued. The lack of structure just compounds the chaos.
