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.

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)

Pros

Upper management trusts that employees know what to do and leave them to it which is fantastic. You work with smart people and there isn't much office politicking which was incredibly refreshing. The onboarding experience has been super detailed and unlike anything I've experienced before. There is a culture course that details everything from the history, the mission & vision, work modality, how to get the best work-life balance, etc. An onboarding buddy assists you to get used to different systems and processes. There are lots of opportunities to have a strong impact on the products and culture. Everyone is able to put their views, defend ideas with data and do what's best for the company & the product. The management can be easily reached out and are indeed visionary. They really understand people and tech. Good overall compensation & benefits. Yearly company retreat (on hold now due to COVID).

Cons

Not really a con but you have to be able to work independently and take responsibility for your work.
