Pros
• Excellent projects (mostly in banking, insurance though) • Abundance of onshore opportunities • Chance to be part of McKinsey, BCG projects • Directly in touch with the client • Freedom to run your project • Latest design tools like Figma, Sketch etc. • Everyone gets a MacBook • Bosses are very approachable and listen • Salaries are more than other design studios
Cons
• People exist in small groups and don't mix outside of them. Even before the lockdown it used to feel like we were are a group of freelancers working together. The collective vibe needs some loving. • Organisation has a flat hierarchy. Depends if you see it as a pro or a con. It looked like a con to me because there were no reviews by seniors. Senior designers add little value to your work. • Project planning is generally poor. Example, designers are onboarded basis their availability and not their experience. Sometimes junior designers are onboarded in key roles just because they are available.
