A Talented & Collaborative Design Studio - Anonymous employee Matter Employee Review

They gave us flexible time as an intern, and let us work in groups.

There isn't any cons here, i think the overall experience was very good.

The people are what really make Matter, Matter. The designers are incredibly talented, dedicated, and go above and beyond on every project or task. The management team was supportive and flexible with my chronic illness, and when I had to take time off to handle family affairs, they went out of their way to ensure that I didn't have to worry about a thing. The team is very close-knit and highly-collaborative with a work hard, play hard, mentality.

There is a certain level of discipline and self-start initiative required. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. As someone who doesn't like being micro-managed, I appreciated that I was given adequate space to create, adapt, and even help shape processes that impacted the team. However, designers, specifically at the junior level, need more oversight from seniors to help strengthen their skill set in design, presentation, and communication. Lastly, Project Managers could use more support in bolstering the importance of their role within the organization - sometimes it felt like an afterthought.
