- Some really amazing people - Nice industry

Desventajas

I deliberated for a long time whether to write this review. Firstly, I currently work at IxDF, but I have put a different location and job title to the one I actually have. This is because I, like many of us, am afraid to truly voice my opinion. IxDF claims to have a culture of constructive criticism, but the reality is that the founders can only take some constructive criticism on good days for simple things, and it's a gamble that few can afford to take. Secondly, I am writing this as I am exhausted at all the periods of instability, petty drama, and lack of real movement of our product. Since I have been here, there seems to be a vicious cycle: founders get excited about someone/something --> force everyone to drop what they are doing and work on that thing (that is often not backed by user research, ironically) --> thing fails/stalls --> founders scapegoat 1-2 people and treat them terribly and/or fire them under horrendous conditions --> founders have "post-cleanse" high where they regain energy, assure everyone that the poison is removed, hyper-fixate on new thing for the company --> cycle repeats. So I have a proposition: at the moment, working here is a 2/5. If IxDF goes 3 months without any severe drama, I will update my review to 3/5. If it goes 6 months with no severe drama (obviously I understand some things are out of the founders' hands, I'll give grace to anything that is genuinely not their fault, but most is) and 3 features launched from the backlogged list of features, I'll update my score to 5/5. I would be excited to see the founders rise to the occasion, not start a manhunt to find who wrote this, and to get to work, as well as allow the rest of us to work in an environment not full of stupid interruptions. I love the actual work when I can do it properly.

Ventajas

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.

Desventajas

Language can present a challenge when working with students who aren’t proficient in English.

Ventajas

None. This is not a good place to work.

Desventajas

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.
