Pros

It took me only a few months to realise that the office's management and approach to work is not being effective, motivating or productive. Designit Barcelona is not functioning properly, and this has been clearly evidenced by the fact that three other unhappy coworkers left while I was there (two of them in tears). The only pro was my salary, but most of the time I wasn't given projects to work on, so I did not feel rewarded or valued at all.

Cons

- Directors not qualified for their role. - No efforts to get new projects or clients. - Poor resource management. - Terrible communication with other offices. - Performance reviews not based on objective feedback. - No engagement with the local design community. - No encouragement to develop career goals. - Noisy workplace, extremely hard to focus. - Culture of unnecessary long work hours, regardless of productivity. - And overall, a general lack of commitment to address these issues.

Pros

I've had the pleasure of working at Designit for 3 years, and it has been an incredibly fulfilling experience. The company truly values creativity, collaboration, and personal growth. The leadership team is supportive, and they actively encourage open communication and fresh ideas. The work environment is inclusive, with a real focus on work-life balance. If you're looking for a company that invests in its people, promotes creativity, and gives you the freedom to grow, I highly recommend Designit!

Cons

There are none to mention

Pros

The work is remote -- that's a plus. And while this company doesn't pay all its bills, so far my paycheck has always arrived on time (knock on wood). That's a ridiculously low bar to set, but after a few years at Designit (if you last that long) you'll be impressed that they clear it.

Cons

Where do I even start? This agency is in complete free fall. The larger company that bought us out (Wipro) has lost us one marquee client, caused a rift with others, and gutted our staff. The Wipro team is incompetent, reckless, rude, and fundamentally incapable of right-sizing any business, including & especially their own. I doubt Designit will ever hire anyone again -- those of us still here don't imagine this place will still exist in a year -- but if you're in the market, look elsewhere. There's no institutional support, no growth potential, or really any future for Designit at all. Everyone I know here is covertly and actively seeking other opportunities.
