Fun culture, poor management - Anonymous employee Idean Employee Review

This was one of the most fun workplaces I’ve worked at. Lots of interesting clients and design problems to tackle.

Nothing I can think of tbh.

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.

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.
