Pros

Designit Americas has a large group of talented contributors up to the director level who are trying their hardest to deliver consistently amazing work. I’m sure talent in other studios is also amazing, but we don’t get to work with them.

Cons

I have never worked with a company that shows such an extreme amount of disdain for the people that work for them. The only thing the Americas leadership cares about is revenue (of course revenue is important - but it isn’t the only thing). They definitely don’t care about the employees and they can’t even pretend to care about the clients or the quality of work that is being delivered. - Terrible benefits compared to the industry - No upward mobility or transparency around career growth - Heavy favoritism from leadership - No exciting new projects and no active communication around efforts to drive new business - No connection to global studios or global leadership - No accountability for leadership, they focus on pointing fingers rather than solving problems

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!

Pros

Smart people, used to be a boutique and really cool, interesting, and fun creative agency.

Cons

Lost its way, pursuing work for the cheapest amount, sacrificing quality, relationships, and integrity with promises to clients.
