Pros

- Past design heritage and portfolio of projects - Great individual designers and teammates who strive to do good work

Cons

- Toxic new C-suite (ex-Capco consultants) who don't understand people, design, or how to create a sustainable design business - Consultant driven decision making chasing quarterly revenue targets at the sacrifice of quality and impactful work - Degradation of design culture, and project pipeline, that used to exist - Uninspiring regional and global leaders who do not understand or wish to foster good design - Unhappy design teams who aren't supported or invested in due to all of the above - Toxic HR with practices that lack transparency, and who treat employees poorly

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry you feel this way and that you have left with this impression of Designit. It’s a shame that we didn’t get the opportunity to reassure you and address your concerns whilst you were still with us. I recently joined London as Head of Studio and I have been impressed by the amazing creative talent we have. It's because of this, that the London leadership team and I are committed to supporting and amplifying our people. We have created a space for our Designers to contribute from a grassroots level into our strategy in all aspects of our studio. From, business to culture to ways of working to craft, to name some topic areas. I can also attest to the commitment to creativity, I have seen from our Global leaders. One example to share is the launch of a Designit Creative Council. This Council seeks to bring together our creative people from across the Globe in Designit. Our creative community will hold our Leaders to account. Providing the right balance between business and creativity. I understand that you have now moved on and I am disappointed we did not have the opportunity to remind you of the various channels to raise concerns. We have, engagement surveys, one to one’s, leadership firesides with Q and A’s, Town Halls. We also have People policies and processes like Spot, Whistleblowing, and grievance. Finally, thank you again for your feedback. I wish you the very best on your next chapter. Helen Wood Head of UK & Ireland
