Pros

- Talented individuals who are good at what they do - A certain level of chaos and lack of certain level of global processes/governance means you could get away with trying new things, improve stuff, ..

Cons

- Promises of a global network that often fall flat: very poor global connections between offices of small sizes - Not a great deal of efforts from the management to help connect people and create a community - Lack of cohesion globally - Feels like it's all about sales, no bigger vision about the impact of the work on the industry, the world, individuals.

Pros

I've been able to work on some of the most fun, future thinking and design-oriented projects of my career in a wide range of industries with some incredibly talented designers while at Idean. Each project has allowed me to explore new methods of workshopping, problem solving and design in areas beyond traditional interface design to solve real challenges faced by companies today and speculated for tomorrow. An extremely family-oriented culture that is a lot of fun, offers good work/life balance and fun activities.

Cons

The biggest challenges facing Idean are around communication between different people in different studios in terms of documentation, artifacts and resources and opportunities. This is especially true between the individual contributors, middle management and the C-Level, who are very busy trying to manage a strained relationship with our acquisition partner, Capgemini. This has made it difficult to improve process and communication throughout the organization which mostly becomes apparent in between projects. During client engagements, everything goes very smoothly and everyone is able and eager to pitch in ideas and concepts to help people to grow into the best designer they can be.
