Cons
Work in the Interaction Design Foundation requires people to be very self-disciplined, self-motivated, responsible, and executive. Not a disadvantage at all, but you have to understand expectations. The onboarding process could be a little bit stressful because you'll have to set a lot of accounts, a lot of guidelines/instructions to read, learn new services and applications. But you'll have your onboarding buddy who helps you with everything.
