Pros

1. Great people and teammates to work with, proactive design culture 2. Interesting and often times challenging projects

Cons

1. Incredible levels on micro-management which bogs down individual creativity and hinders ease of work. 2. Being under Wipro leads to dealing with bureaucratic roadblocks. 3. Feedback circles and decision are un-democratic and are often enforced on employees. 4. Clear bias and partiality by the management for certain people, often leads to a toxic work environment.

Pros

The onboarding process is awesome, work-life balance and flexibility are encouraged, and everybody takes care of others' wellbeing. Payment is very competitive. A culture of openness and constant discussion on future themes is enlightening in a lot of creative ways. Designit is a very well established brand. A lot of doors get knocked on, and a lot of doors open after you join. Learning experiences come from everywhere. There is not a single engagement where you leave empty-handed.

Cons

It's a consulting business with a design spirit. Clients are mostly big corporations with an oversaturated money-driven agenda, which is simply demotivating (you guessed it, fees are very high). Because projects change so much within a close timeframe, it's hard to get people to get to work on what they're good at (their specialties), so you end up with a lot of superficial work that doesn't transcend the client's needs. Growing within the company is hard because you don't know how your performance is being assessed and measured. Feedback is not very clear when you get it, because there is a generalized fear of being too offensive. A lot of information gets discussed publicly and this leads to people taking things very personally. It's a stressful gig, overall. ***To whoever is reading this from outside Designit: All Designit offices are very different in their composition, client portfolio, layout, management practices, and culture. This feedback may apply to one part of the globe, but not others. This is in no way an accurate generalization of ALL the offices, but a single viewpoint.
