Pros

I've genuinely really enjoyed my time at IxDF so far. You get to work alongside incredibly driven, smart, and high-achieving people, including working directly with the founders, which is rare and refreshing. If you have ideas, you're encouraged to run with them. There's a lot of responsible freedom here, which means you're trusted to own your projects and make an impact without unnecessary micromanagement. One of the biggest advantages for me is that IxDF has a mission you can actually feel good about contributing to. It’s incredibly fulfilling to work for a company that’s making a positive difference, and it makes showing up for work every day that much more meaningful. Other perks: -Fully remote team: If you love the work-from-home lifestyle, this is perfect. The company is truly built for remote work!! -Collaborative, supportive culture: Even though we're remote, there's a strong sense of connection. People are kind, intelligent, and genuinely care about doing great work. Also, it is always amazing to get to see them during the team trips - last year we went to Dubai :) -Opportunities to grow: Because of the trust and freedom you're given, there's room to step up, take ownership, and advance your skills in ways that bigger, more rigid companies don't always allow. You always have the opportunity to contribute to other projects and learn new skills and I think that is awesome!

Cons

It’s not a disadvantage per se, but it’s worth noting that IxDF is a smaller company, which means you work very closely with your teammates and leadership. If you’re not self-motivated, proactive, and enthusiastic about your work, it will show. Everyone here is highly driven, so if you prefer a more laid-back environment or need a lot of external structure, this might not be the best fit.

Pros

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.

Cons

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

Pros

None. This is not a good place to work.

Cons

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.
