Enjoying the projects - Senior User Experience Designer Number 41 Media Employee Review

It's a pleasure and a privilege to work at Number 41 Media. I've been made to feel welcome from day one. It's refreshing how positive and friendly everyone is here and it's really easy to get along with everyone including management. There is an environment of professionalism and courtesy extended to staff and clients alike. The office is exceptional and very nicely appointed. Every effort is made to make employees comfortable at work. Breakfast, beverages and snacks are provided. Necessary office equipment is supplied to ensure employee's ergonomic needs are met. Management is very flexible and accommodating to personal schedules. Workloads are reasonable and well managed. There is support for professional growth and learning. Work is interesting and challenging. There is passion for the highest standard of quality in what we do. I'm very happy to be working at Number 41 Media and I'm grateful for the opportunity and truly appreciate the lengths taken to make this a great place to work.

No complaints, but the field of work is fairly narrow. They do what they do and they do it well. It's a small company, but for some of us that's a good thing.

Had some good people working there; nice, funny and smart. Salary and benefits were ok. Attending appointments were never a problem.

Management didn't seem to know how to manage software development or people. Projects were always rushed and sloppy and management expected work done after hours and on weekends to make the unrealistic deadlines. Couldn't trust management, they would say one thing and then do another. Projects were frustrating to work on, tight deadlines and poor process management lead to a lot of unnecessary stress. For a software company I was dismayed to found out just how poorly the development process was. Management played the blame game when things didn't go well., which was often because of poor instructions and little to no requirements or documentation. They frequently made assumptions about things without confirming first. Management played favourites with staff, being a small office this was very apparent. Management didn't communicate well. Employee reviews and feedback were delivered poorly and didn't offer any insight into assessment process, it just seemed haphazard.
