They definitely underpay. Had an interview and salary was insanely low

Kinda lame. And I've heard they underpay

No.

I feel like mekanism believes their own hype but just can’t quite deliver.

They underpay but have no reason to. Their work is not that great and their rep is not either.

Hmm.. my buddies at the Seattle office seem to like it. 🤔

@AMD1 Yup. They opened it right after they won that biz. I dig what they've done with Alaska Airlines. Especially the billboard dedicated solely to the in-flight cheese plate, goddamn brilliant!

I spoke to them and while the salary was in an acceptable range it was at the very low end of the spectrum. I think they’re just branching out of being just a creative shop so may not have a grasp on market rates outside creative.

Don't they have an SF office who swooped some of the Infiniti work from CP+B, or am I misremembering?

Great clients at Alaska Airlines too. I bet they’re happy up there. 😛

Hi 🐠, need your help/suggestions. We moved into our new townhouse 4 months ago and I’ve been noticing a car parked outside with 3-4 (young folks) people sitting in it for past 3-4 weeks. Today they took it to another level when someone from that group was peeing right in front of my backyard. When I was about to talk to them they left in a hurry. What should be doing? I’m first time homeowner so want to make sure I’m not doing anything wrong
