      Pros

      This is really a great company with an awesome, highly qualified team

      Cons

      In the interviews the job is described totally different than it actually turns out. After hiring, nobody really cares if you are happy or not. People are just assigned on projects not considering the qualifications and then everybody wonders why people are frustrated or leaving. The GM is a numbers person (which for the company obviously is great), but he is not people person. The internal communication is terrible. Salary is low and it is not even adjusted to the normal inflation rate. There are talent talks twice a year and these usually turn out extremely demotivating - personal and job development are not really supported.

      Pros

      It would open you doors because of its unmerited reputation. Relaxed environment which can easily turn into a circus where nobody knows what they're doing.

      Cons

      Well, where to start? It's one of those pretentious, 'big words' agencies which advertise their core values all over. In this company though, they don't live up to any of those; in fact, what's happening is quite the opposite of what's written in that shiny handbook. It's a place where talkers are rewarded instead of doers. Don't expect team work, everybody is so individualistic, reluctant to go the extra mile. If you want to show a mediocre performance and no one to question or challenge you, this is your place. Perfect place for oblomovs, you'd do just fine for years with no ambition. Oh, did I mention the lack of design leadership, terrible management, and bad salaries?

      Hello. Thank you for taking the time to put together your thoughts on your experience at Designit. We appreciate that our relaxed environment is not for everyone and a non-hierarchical organisation with high levels of autonomy doesn’t suit everyone’s preferred ways of working. In our wellbeing surveys, our people constantly tell us their colleagues are one of their favourite parts of Designit, so it’s a shame that you haven’t had the same impression e We score 8.3 out of 10 on the question: “My coworkers are committed to doing quality work” and 8.3 out of 10 on the question: “I can count on my coworkers to help out when needed” I would like to extend the opportunity to have a confidential conversation about life at Designit with you, so please reach to me on Slack or at mikael.nilsson@designit.com so we can see how to make this better!
