A relentless focus on quality and impact - Design Education Interaction Design Foundation Employee Review

I appreciate the following things about the company culture in the IxDF: - A noble mission of helping make the world a better place. Not as a cliché - but in real, measurable terms. - A relentless focus on quality and impact. - No office politics and bureaucracy - but a focus on what really matters. - We combine the approach of a studio and a factory: In “studio mode”, we’re collaborative, idea generating and everyone can chime in (great for your extroverted sides). In “factory mode”, the mantra is “ideas are worthless without execution” and we get stuff done (great for your introverted sides). - A focus on hiring *senior* professionals only. - We don’t waste time on the latest and most hyped tools. We try to find a balance between sticking with what works and exploring the new. - A pragmatic approach to process/method. We can do a full-circle Design Thinking process for a new feature. Or we can use independent judgement and intuition to quickly make a decision and ship a feature. It all depends on the context and we’re not caught up in process for the sake of process. - A hands-on approach where even the founders love to participate in work.
