      Pros

      It would open you doors because of its unmerited reputation. Relaxed environment which can easily turn into a circus where nobody knows what they're doing.

      Cons

      Well, where to start? It's one of those pretentious, 'big words' agencies which advertise their core values all over. In this company though, they don't live up to any of those; in fact, what's happening is quite the opposite of what's written in that shiny handbook. It's a place where talkers are rewarded instead of doers. Don't expect team work, everybody is so individualistic, reluctant to go the extra mile. If you want to show a mediocre performance and no one to question or challenge you, this is your place. Perfect place for oblomovs, you'd do just fine for years with no ambition. Oh, did I mention the lack of design leadership, terrible management, and bad salaries?

      Hello. Thank you for taking the time to put together your thoughts on your experience at Designit. We appreciate that our relaxed environment is not for everyone and a non-hierarchical organisation with high levels of autonomy doesn’t suit everyone’s preferred ways of working. In our wellbeing surveys, our people constantly tell us their colleagues are one of their favourite parts of Designit, so it’s a shame that you haven’t had the same impression e We score 8.3 out of 10 on the question: “My coworkers are committed to doing quality work” and 8.3 out of 10 on the question: “I can count on my coworkers to help out when needed” I would like to extend the opportunity to have a confidential conversation about life at Designit with you, so please reach to me on Slack or at mikael.nilsson@designit.com so we can see how to make this better!

      Pros

      - Social gathering, inspirational trips, Parties - Nice office spaces, food, people - Depending on the country: job security, pension, phone bills covered, equipment, etc.

      Cons

      - Not a place you can grow easily - Lots of favouritism, pride and attitude - Salary talks and Talent talks are useless - a lot like IDEO...but not really.

      - Tokyo is a cool city - some interesting projects

      Cons

      Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback for us, although we must admit that we are deeply shocked to hear about your experience. We have actually shared your comments with our entire team in Tokyo and we have all agreed that we cannot imagine any of our former employees making such a review, nor does it reflect the current culture of this office. Our most recent well-being survey results have actually shown quite the opposite of what you’ve written. Our Designits feel that they have a close-knit and passionate family in Tokyo, where we spend a great deal of our time caring for both our clients and for one another. Since establishing this office in 2013, we have done our best to ensure that not only do we hire fairly (and in fact we have an even split between men and women and have loved having many international colleagues) but that all rewards, promotions, etc are given strictly based on merit. Of course we know that we’re not perfect and so we encourage any Designit who feels that they’re not being treated fairly to come and discuss these issues with us in confidence. Our doors are always open to hear both positive and critical feedback, as we know that it’s what helps us make the work experience for all Designits even better.
