Pros

- Energetic co-workers (in Tokyo and all over the world) that are always willing to lend knowledge and help whenever needed. - Small team = freedom and responsibility to shape how designers want to work. - The Tokyo office really respects the work-life balance. Working over time is not encouraged. - More and more interesting projects have been coming into the office for the past few years. - Designers are supported to grow in fields they want to grow in.

Cons

- Salaries may not be as competitive. - Global company = sometimes late night calls. Which is fun but a bit unfortunate at the same time.

Konichiwa! Great to hear from an old friend and it makes us all warm and fuzzy when we hear that you love Designit as much as we do. Autonomy and professional development through working on interesting projects is exactly what Designit is about. Working overtime and burning out is not. We hope that you were able to find some balance with those late night calls. We wish you all the best in your new job and keep in touch. Mikael

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!

Cons

Pros

The work is remote -- that's a plus. And while this company doesn't pay all its bills, so far my paycheck has always arrived on time (knock on wood). That's a ridiculously low bar to set, but after a few years at Designit (if you last that long) you'll be impressed that they clear it.

Cons

Where do I even start? This agency is in complete free fall. The larger company that bought us out (Wipro) has lost us one marquee client, caused a rift with others, and gutted our staff. The Wipro team is incompetent, reckless, rude, and fundamentally incapable of right-sizing any business, including & especially their own. I doubt Designit will ever hire anyone again -- those of us still here don't imagine this place will still exist in a year -- but if you're in the market, look elsewhere. There's no institutional support, no growth potential, or really any future for Designit at all. Everyone I know here is covertly and actively seeking other opportunities.
