Pros

-= An extraordinary mission =- If you're ambitious and want to make this world a better living place - work in the Interaction Design Foundation is your chance! The main goal of the company is to share meaningful knowledge that could help make our world better with hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. You'll be able to make your contribution. -= Amazing culture =- An amazing culture with continuous improvement. Open communication, transparent processes of everything, accessible CEOs, long-term goals instead of just getting an instant reward, constant personal growth, and a great place to become a better version of yourself, organic growth of the entire company, and many other benefits of the culture. -= Best colleagues ever =- It's one of many other reasons why work in the Interaction Design Foundation could be the best workplace. I have amazing colleagues who are: - Very senior and dedicated professionals with strong skill sets in different specializations. Often, the world's best professionals in the industry. So I'm able to learn from them and proud to work with them. - Intrinsic-motivated people with a very high self-responsibility and self-discipline. - Friendly and open-for-communication people from different countries. It's a great chance for me to learn about other cultures and get new friends from different corners of the world. - Always ready to help: I can expect any kind of help from all of them. - People who are inspiring, motivating, supporting. -= Ownership of your own work =- You'll be able to take ownership of your own work if you do what’s best for the organization. You will be able to plan your work by yourself if you use independent judgment to prioritize tasks and have enough responsibility to execute. -= Other bonuses =- Flexible work hours and the opportunity to work from any place on the planet with a good internet connection. Team-trips to different places all around the world (before the pandemic situation). The flexibility of a small team with very high effectiveness and efficiency at the same time. Compensations for a gym, paid sick days.

Cons

Work in the Interaction Design Foundation requires people to be very self-disciplined, self-motivated, responsible, and executive. Not a disadvantage at all, but you have to understand expectations. The onboarding process could be a little bit stressful because you'll have to set a lot of accounts, a lot of guidelines/instructions to read, learn new services and applications. But you'll have your onboarding buddy who helps you with everything.

Pros

- Fully remote company. Work from wherever, whenever. - Friendly and diverse team. Lots of different cultures and experiences to share. - Interesting work. As a developer, sometimes the finer points of the user's experience is lost on me. Working here allows me to learn how to make better design and experience decisions. - Impactful. Your work will be experienced by thousands of people daily. - There's no micromanagement. You get the opportunity to pursue work you find interesting, as long as it serves the purpose of improving the company in some way. - This isn't a job where you can expect to simply show up and collect a paycheck. That doesn't mean there's a crazy expectations or overtime, rather you're expected to be present and involved, not just a small cog in a large machine.

Cons

- Fully remote work isn't for everyone. Since decisions, debates and conversations may happen asynchronously, there is a loss of fluidity. You need to be patient. - I, personally speaking, would prefer a little more feedback or constructive peer-review based on my performance, so that I may perform better in the future.

Strong core values

Pros

• Strong and clear core values. The company is honest since the beginning about its core values and overall sight for the future. I’m new here, but so far, they have been committed to their speech. • They sure know how to recognise and gratify good work. • They sure know how to recognise and not continue with bad work. It may look harsh, but I prefer to work in a pushy environment, it’s better for the future. • They trust you. You are your own boss. You make your own time. As long as results are given, I saw no irrational charges. • Remote work. • Organised. Tons of guidelines and detailed onboarding process. • It was my first international job. Had zero problems with that. They were super understanding with the language barrier. • Growing business.

Cons

• You work far away from each other. Since Covid began, we had no chance to meet in person. A lack fo daily physical partnership can be difficult, but the daily routine can fix that. • There are lots of room for improvement, in a general overview. Mostly on visual graphic wise. (but maybe this a positive thing… that is why we are hired for)
