Pluspunten

- The overall goal with IDF is so attractive to me. It's deeply meaningful for me to help designers and students from all over the world learn from high quality educational material for a fraction of the costs of what the competitors offer. - My team as well as the other teams are friendly, fun and welcoming. - The work culture is quite different from what I've been used to from my previous job at a university. The managers are transparent and help you set your own goals within the boundaries of the overall goals and your team's goals. The meetings are short and right to the point aimed the upcoming goal. However, there's always time for a laugh and to hear what your team members are up for at the moment. - I love working with people from all over the world. - Working remotely has taught me a lot about the pros and cons of self discipline and freedom. I love being able to plan my own work week completely and take vacations when it fits into my schedule. However, it was difficult for me to find the self discipline I needed to begin with since there were no colleagues or managers surrounding me physically, but the managers shared some tips which helped me a lot. - I've gained a lot of new skills and I've learned to appreciate a high pace.

Minpunten

- Sometimes I miss having a physical workplace where I can hang our with colleagues over a cup of coffee. - It can feel a bit overwhelming/intimidating to join a team of overachievers. - Working remotely was quite lonely and strange to begin with. However, after a few months I had created my own routines and found some great places to work. At my local library I found a quiet place to work but at the same time I was able to find a few like-minded people to hang out with during my breaks.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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

None. This is not a good place to work.

Minpunten

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.
