Pros

- incredible colleagues: I've never worked with a more kind and smart group of people who share common values and support each other's passions and growth - attentive and transparent leadership: they consistently check in to see how you're doing, seek feedback, and keep us all in the loop on business health, finances, etc - incredible diversity of project types: purpose-driven work in healthcare, education, emerging technologies, social impact, and more - learning outside of projects: very active practice communities for Design and Research/Strategy fuel our collective growth and create space for really rich discussions - coaching: strong internal mentorship program that supports your growth and provides the opportunity to mentor others - perks: amazing compensation and benefits, including generous PTO, sick, and parental leave, education and well-being stipends, and more

Cons

As in any agency, providing the highest quality work to our clients sometimes means that we have to move pretty quickly to deliver within tight timelines. However, if the workload ever becomes too much for a project team, there is open communication and multiple avenues for bringing in additional support. Team health is top of mind for all of our leads and project advisors.

Pros

Nice office with plenty of space. Flat organization. CEO accessible. Feedback is asked for and generally responded to.

Cons

Where to start… On paper, Artefact seems like a great place to be. They tell you that you can choose your projects, lead a team without interference and be part of an inclusive environment. The reality is that the business has been in severe decline for several years. You’ll be lucky just to get assigned to a billable project. The leadership team is a collection of individuals simply trying to maintain their power and play politic in a failing company. Challenge a way of thinking and you’ll be met with smiles to your face, while the member of the “leadership” team you looked at the wrong way, plots how to remove you from the project or worse, the company. There is a profit sharing plan, but the payouts, even in a successful year, are close to meaningless. Thinking about joining the company? Ask about layoffs (there have been several rounds over the past few years). Ask about the company’s strategy (zero execution and it will change every quarter after the “leadership” offsite). Ask about who the main clients are.
