Pros

While my experience was remote and from the outside, the facets of the company with which I interacted were outstanding. Just visit their website and take it all in. Those who have build IxDF have done so with as much love and care as a parent would for their own children. You can see the genuine care and deep love that they all share not only for the company and their clientele, but also for each other and all those that are potential new hires. They have established an ecosystem that should be the envy of other business far and wide. While the model which they have made of their infrastructure would not necessarily work within all forms of business, having the mentality can. They actually care. There is genuine care with each member from the top down. They don't send out robotic generated emails, each email from a real human, who in turn, really cares. You don't find this often, but it should be found more. I can't help but feel that the root of this mentality if the fact that the company is run by Danes, who by their very nature are some of the most caring people on the planet. If you don't believe that, go to Denmark and see for yourself. It's like going to a small neighborhood where everyone knows each and their families, but shed that same care to strangers and travellers. Voted "happiest country in the world" many years running, the core values or care and compassion is engrained, and it has shown through here. I will keep looking for new opening at this company in the hopes that I can one day get a foot in the door. I assure you that if you do, you won't ever want to leave. No this isn't a paid ad, they don't need it, their reputation shines enough as is. I've just seen plenty of very unfortunate business models and top down decisions that leave those who work their without hope for advancement or recognition. This is a breeding ground for it.

Cons

It's such a desirable company that every opening gets tidal waves of applicants. While this isn't inherently a bad thing, it just means that the old adage "there's always a bigger fish" becomes more and more prevalent.

Pros

The Interaction Design Foundation has a fantastic culture that is among the best I've seen at the companies I’ve worked for. Everyone really cares about their colleagues and especially the students who have entrusted their education to us. I feel privileged to educate the designers of tomorrow. I work with students from all over the world, and that helps me reinforce my belief that design is truly a cross-cultural and universal matter.

Cons

Language can present a challenge when working with students who aren’t proficient in English.

Pros

None. This is not a good place to work.

Cons

CEO thinks he’s a software engineer, but he jack squat about actual engineering. This is a terrible place to work and management has completely misaligned priorities.
