Pros

I've learned so much as part of the team. When I started working at IxDF, I didn't had much experience in the field of UX Design, which didn't matter as much as I work on a more technical role. However, from day one I was introduced to fantastic content as part of my onboarding process that would teach me the basics and most of the working knowledge I needed. From there on, the support from the team and overall the collaboration environment was fantastic. The team is made up of people from different countries, so you can always expect different point of view and interesting conversations. From the first day, all my teammates were very respectful of my time and asked which hours worked best for me to meet and to overlap when tasks required to. It's been a while since I dragged my feet off bed to jump into a meeting ;) There are lots of flexibility and freedom when it comes to "how" you do your work, from a technical perspective, rules are standardized and conventions are constantly shared and known by the team. The team has a nice atmosphere where everyone can share and discuss their best practices

Cons

Sometimes the productivity focus can feel overwhelming, we have good and bad days and on bad days it feels difficult to reach the expected productivity measure.

Interaction Design Foundation Response

I’m glad you have taken the time to write this review. We're really proud of our team (you!) and the amazing course platform/community/platform/codebase/online school you have built. We truly do our best to make sure people of all countries and backgrounds have a place at the IxDF and are thrilled that has been your experience. We have put our hearts and souls into the onboarding process you mentioned - and the culture course which go along - so I am personally enthusiastic that the onboarding worked so well for you. But …. “never satisfied”. We’ll keep improving it. I understand your comments regarding the emphasis we place on productivity. We can get caught up in productivity improvements and forget that there will be bad days. This will happen from time to time to every team member, no matter how senior the person. What’s important, is to treat those days as a learning opportunity, not as a defeat. Be extra kind to yourself on those days. Do extra self-care, and remind yourself that good self-care/fun/etc. is the mother of productivity. So put your emphasis on fun and self-care on the bad days ;-) Sending lots of positive thoughts!
