Pluspunten

I appreciate the following things about the company culture in the IxDF: - A noble mission of helping make the world a better place. Not as a cliché - but in real, measurable terms. - A relentless focus on quality and impact. - No office politics and bureaucracy - but a focus on what really matters. - We combine the approach of a studio and a factory: In “studio mode”, we’re collaborative, idea generating and everyone can chime in (great for your extroverted sides). In “factory mode”, the mantra is “ideas are worthless without execution” and we get stuff done (great for your introverted sides). - A focus on hiring *senior* professionals only. - We don’t waste time on the latest and most hyped tools. We try to find a balance between sticking with what works and exploring the new. - A pragmatic approach to process/method. We can do a full-circle Design Thinking process for a new feature. Or we can use independent judgement and intuition to quickly make a decision and ship a feature. It all depends on the context and we’re not caught up in process for the sake of process. - A hands-on approach where even the founders love to participate in work.

Minpunten

I have seen colleagues become disgruntled and unhappy in the following situations: - When a senior team member realizes that he/she does not have adequate execution skills. Some former colleagues have fallen into the trap of “illusory superiority” where they seem to feel they are too senior to be asked to produce actual results. - When a team member can not effectively work in a team.

Reactie van Interaction Design Foundation

Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to leave this review. I’m glad you brought up the subject of helping make the world a better place, which is something that is at the core of our mission. As you said, it can sound like a cliché, but it drives much of the decision making for us an organization, meaning that most of the things we do improve the quality of our courses. This way, the hundreds of thousands of designers that take these courses can go out into the world with their newly found knowledge and create amazing product and services that can make the world a better place.
