Business Outlook

Pros

Hybrid work, flexibility to choose home vs at work schedule Great management Growing like crazy, it's good to be at a company that's exploding Best work culture I've ever experienced

Cons

Sometimes schedules can be tough, occasionally you need to buckle down and put in extra time. With so much growth and hiring, sometimes things are a little disorganized.

Fantastic Company, terrible compensation

Associate industrial designer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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.
