Pros

Quick development cycles, large and talented team of designers, real responsibilities and agency to make design decisions, fantastic culture, plenty of room for advancement, hybrid work from home / from office options, great facilities, thoughtful leadership.

Cons

Compensation. The compensation for Industrial Designers is single handedly the worst part about working at this company. The starting salary for an Associate Industrial Designer has not changed in the past four years, even though inflation and company sales have grown exponentially. The average salary brackets of Industrial Designers here is close to insulting; it seems everyone on the design team is incredibly underpaid. This desperately needs to be updated before more talented people leave.

At times you might find yourself without directions but it isn't really a company thing. It is about how much you engage with them
