Pros

Free food, beer, wine, coffee. Great location.

Cons

Toxic work culture where team members back-bite and gossip. Superiority complex runs rampant without proven credibility in the field of technology, web, or mobile design. Lack of empathy and respect for the talent of peers, with larger systemic control issues and unwillingness to grow. No autonomy or room for thinking outside of the box. Must follow strict scripts when creating designs, no wiggle room for creativity.

Thank you for your feedback and honesty. This is not the type of employee experience we want to promote at Designit, and hearing your feedback is critical so that we can continue to make improvements. We pride ourselves as an organisation to think and act like a design community and family, and we're sorry to hear that wasn't the impression you received during your time here. We'll make sure to identify ways within our Brooklyn team to collectively approach some of these topics.

Caring for their employees

Pros

In my personal experience, you get full support if you are going through hard times, also privately. Especially HR is really trustworthy and caring for you as a person. And a great team: open minded, family-like, collaborative.

Cons

Difficulties I know from other companies as well: not the right project at the right time, often no consistant teams.

Getting back to its old self

Pros

- Autonomy and trust, there's no creative director telling you what todo on projects - Genuinely caring people and you will be treated as a human being - Nice offices in most places around the world

Cons

- Salaries can't compete with in-house roles. But I guess they are two different things - It's getting very big so it's hard to keep everyone connected across the globe

Let’s face it, going through an acquisition is never easy, which is why we’ve spent the last 3+ years trying to create strong relationships with our new friends and colleagues at Wipro, while nurturing the culture and people that make Designit what it is. I’m glad to hear that you think we’re finding our old ways again. Your point about internal communication is a good and relevant one. In fact, we’re rolling out some new communication initiatives to make sure we’ll stay connected. If you ever want to contribute with more feedback or ideas you’re welcome to get in touch. Thanks!
