I feel bad for the students & staff

Pros

None this is a garbage dump

Cons

This place is an embarrassment to the field of ux design. I noticed below they even tried to gaslight another mentor by saying where they worked wasn’t IDF as if someone would confuse their place of employment?! Their students are taught entitlement and expect immediate jobs making six figures.

Pros

This schools pros are non.

Cons

Deceptive Design that takes advantage of students by lying and promising world wide job placement, WITHOUT any means to do so. I could not continue being a mentor in good conscience when they were sending me students they hadn’t properly educated they claim to be a UX school but HAVE AWFUL ux design they exploit not only their students but their faculty with subjecting them to having to do free work.

Hi there. It seems you reviewed the wrong company. We do not promise world-wide job placement, we do not ask our students to do free work, and we also do not have (very many) mentors. I think you're talking about "Design Lab", which is a company in New York (your profile says you're from New York). Sending you positive thoughts!
