Pros

Processes are certainly in place. Salary is fair. Flexible hours. Remote work from home.

Cons

Micro-management style of working or no direction at all, always in extremes. OCD in a non-positive sense. No true (people) management . No overarching big picture of what the company wants to do. So far into the minutiae that larger important issues are ignored or badly managed. No senior level staff. Chaotic at times. Cult-ish atmosphere and quite a lot of turnover.

Pros

The Interaction Design Foundation has a fantastic culture that is among the best I've seen at the companies I’ve worked for. Everyone really cares about their colleagues and especially the students who have entrusted their education to us. I feel privileged to educate the designers of tomorrow. I work with students from all over the world, and that helps me reinforce my belief that design is truly a cross-cultural and universal matter.

Cons

Language can present a challenge when working with students who aren’t proficient in English.

Pros

None. This is not a good place to work.

Cons

CEO thinks he’s a software engineer, but he jack squat about actual engineering. This is a terrible place to work and management has completely misaligned priorities.
