Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback for us, although we must admit that we are deeply shocked to hear about your experience. We have actually shared your comments with our entire team in Tokyo and we have all agreed that we cannot imagine any of our former employees making such a review, nor does it reflect the current culture of this office. Our most recent well-being survey results have actually shown quite the opposite of what you’ve written. Our Designits feel that they have a close-knit and passionate family in Tokyo, where we spend a great deal of our time caring for both our clients and for one another. Since establishing this office in 2013, we have done our best to ensure that not only do we hire fairly (and in fact we have an even split between men and women and have loved having many international colleagues) but that all rewards, promotions, etc are given strictly based on merit. Of course we know that we’re not perfect and so we encourage any Designit who feels that they’re not being treated fairly to come and discuss these issues with us in confidence. Our doors are always open to hear both positive and critical feedback, as we know that it’s what helps us make the work experience for all Designits even better.

Pros

I've had the pleasure of working at Designit for 3 years, and it has been an incredibly fulfilling experience. The company truly values creativity, collaboration, and personal growth. The leadership team is supportive, and they actively encourage open communication and fresh ideas. The work environment is inclusive, with a real focus on work-life balance. If you're looking for a company that invests in its people, promotes creativity, and gives you the freedom to grow, I highly recommend Designit!

Pros

Smart people, used to be a boutique and really cool, interesting, and fun creative agency.

Cons

Lost its way, pursuing work for the cheapest amount, sacrificing quality, relationships, and integrity with promises to clients.
