Pros
Talented mid and sr level colleagues, a reflection of how good the hiring team is Lack of capable leadership and management means that you are free to do whatever you want, which some designers really take advantage of, leaning in to the lazy vibe
Cons
Leadership and management are inexperienced. Lots of jargon and not enough vision. Quality of work, equality among sexes and races, collaboration, skill development, conflict resolution, and doing the work to build and sustain longlasting client relationships are not priorities at Idean. Preferential treatment is very obvious. Personally witnessed 2 highly qualified experienced women apply to work on client projects that were perfect fits for them, only to be turned down by management and the positions given to brand new male hires instead.
