      Worst office ever.

      Pros

      It took me only a few months to realise that the office's management and approach to work is not being effective, motivating or productive. Designit Barcelona is not functioning properly, and this has been clearly evidenced by the fact that three other unhappy coworkers left while I was there (two of them in tears). The only pro was my salary, but most of the time I wasn't given projects to work on, so I did not feel rewarded or valued at all.

      Cons

      - Directors not qualified for their role. - No efforts to get new projects or clients. - Poor resource management. - Terrible communication with other offices. - Performance reviews not based on objective feedback. - No engagement with the local design community. - No encouragement to develop career goals. - Noisy workplace, extremely hard to focus. - Culture of unnecessary long work hours, regardless of productivity. - And overall, a general lack of commitment to address these issues.

      Pros

      Designit is a very fresh company. Recently acquired by Wipro, which is a gigantic indian company. Full of interesting projects, great people, very open and flexible. Very nice work-life balance. I have to travel a lot but also get to work from home whenever I need to. As the company evolves more interesting projects come along. Nothing to envy Ideo, we also have challenging. world-changing projects. There's a trip every year where we all get together to share and learn from each other.

      Cons

      Not all offices are the same. The spanish offices are pretty nice, open and very flexible with a very well nurtured culture but at other offices like the one in Munich or Copenhagen, internal culture is actually very different and have more rigid structures. Although everyone enjoys Designit a lot, there's a heavier rotation of people at other european offices. Depending on the office, salary may vary. Some are ok some are still low compared with the industry.

      Pros

      Humane, fun, intellectually stimulating environment. Lots of leeway to build your own position. Project variety. Tremendous talent pool to learn from. Intensive formal and informal knowledge sharing initiatives.

      Cons

      Not suitable for people who - need clear instructions and can't handle uncertainty - cannot travel - don't have fluent English
