Pros

Upper management trusts that employees know what to do and leave them to it which is fantastic. You work with smart people and there isn't much office politicking which was incredibly refreshing. The onboarding experience has been super detailed and unlike anything I've experienced before. There is a culture course that details everything from the history, the mission & vision, work modality, how to get the best work-life balance, etc. An onboarding buddy assists you to get used to different systems and processes. There are lots of opportunities to have a strong impact on the products and culture. Everyone is able to put their views, defend ideas with data and do what's best for the company & the product. The management can be easily reached out and are indeed visionary. They really understand people and tech. Good overall compensation & benefits. Yearly company retreat (on hold now due to COVID).

Cons

Not really a con but you have to be able to work independently and take responsibility for your work.

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.
