Pros

It would open you doors because of its unmerited reputation. Relaxed environment which can easily turn into a circus where nobody knows what they're doing.

Cons

Well, where to start? It's one of those pretentious, 'big words' agencies which advertise their core values all over. In this company though, they don't live up to any of those; in fact, what's happening is quite the opposite of what's written in that shiny handbook. It's a place where talkers are rewarded instead of doers. Don't expect team work, everybody is so individualistic, reluctant to go the extra mile. If you want to show a mediocre performance and no one to question or challenge you, this is your place. Perfect place for oblomovs, you'd do just fine for years with no ambition. Oh, did I mention the lack of design leadership, terrible management, and bad salaries?

Hello. Thank you for taking the time to put together your thoughts on your experience at Designit. We appreciate that our relaxed environment is not for everyone and a non-hierarchical organisation with high levels of autonomy doesn’t suit everyone’s preferred ways of working. In our wellbeing surveys, our people constantly tell us their colleagues are one of their favourite parts of Designit, so it’s a shame that you haven’t had the same impression e We score 8.3 out of 10 on the question: “My coworkers are committed to doing quality work” and 8.3 out of 10 on the question: “I can count on my coworkers to help out when needed” I would like to extend the opportunity to have a confidential conversation about life at Designit with you, so please reach to me on Slack or at mikael.nilsson@designit.com so we can see how to make this better!

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.
