Pros

- Work from anywhere - Cool colleagues (individual contributor level) - Interesting initiatives - International footprint Designit is great if you want a job that will pay the bills. You can work from anywhere so if you want to go to the beach next week, go to the beach. I enjoyed my coworkers because they were always positive and saw the glass as half-full. Because people are generally positive here, "Designits" are daydreamers and always seeking out new methods and ideas which can be nice. No one is willing to stick to the status quo so you won't be bored, necessarily. If you need a quick buck, come here. Most people here are working other jobs remotely or interviewing. Everyone is looking.

Cons

- Minimal benefits and non-competitive pay - Awful CEO and leadership team - Everyone gets promoted easily with zero-or-little increases in pay - Racism The Designit I joined is not the Designit of today. We used to have a head of business that was extremely humanistic and a leadership team you could say were advocates for the greater workforce. Now, Designit's leadership team is largely based in Europe and the culture continues to exclude other regions. The current CEO is all words and zero personality, and his team is never around to be transparent. Another disturbing trend I and other colleagues have noticed is the covert racism and discrimination against employees of color. Racial minority employees are conveniently excluded from leadership selections and when they do exist, they're forced to quit or are pressured until they are fired. My team asked the leadership team about this trend during a Fireside Chat, and they never addressed the questions during the Q&A. ***My team has proof of submitting the questions and proof of them acting like they never received them if you'd like for me to post the screenshots.**** I have also heard my white colleagues make culturally insensitive jokes. Again, this is not the Designit I once joined. Ultimately, an "easy salary" is not enough to keep me here and I left. You'll never actually grow here and there are no benefits offered to empower us to seek learning opportunities elsewhere. It's truly no wonder why Designit has endless job openings and most people last about a year before they quit or are conveniently "let go." Good riddance, Designit!
