Basically terrible. - Graphic Designer Infosys Employee Review

It’s only right to point out this fact from the out set: half, if not most of the positive reviews on Glassdoor for bb have been desperately asked for by senior management. I’ve witnessed recruiting staff begging members of various teams to write positive reviews in the hope of attracting more talent. I was asked to do the same. This is manipulation of people and their right to review bb in their own words. Chaotic calamities would be a more apt name for the company. The irony of the name ‘Brilliant Basics’ beggars belief. The basics are certainly not being achieved and brilliant?...well, absolutely not. There is an over obsession with speed. The word speed is confused with the word rushed. Everything is rushed from the organisation of projects to the running of general studio life. The result is sloppy thinking and sloppy design execution. This impacts the talented design team who deserve better support. BB has a production line design philosophy and it’s obvious from most of the output. People are feeling incredibly down from not having a sense of ownership or a freedom to create and feeling unbelievably anxious, as though they dare not put a foot wrong other wise it’s either a public passive aggressive slack message or the silent treatment. No organisation and ZERO process means a constant stream of panic flowing through the entire company. Every project lacks a brief, an SOW or any real insight to produce work of the quality expected from their clients and industry peers. There’s no diversity or female leadership at the very top and this needs to change ASAP. If you’re a yes woman / man, you go straight to the top. There’s no room to challenge the status quo at bb.
