Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback for us, although we must admit that we are deeply shocked to hear about your experience. We have actually shared your comments with our entire team in Tokyo and we have all agreed that we cannot imagine any of our former employees making such a review, nor does it reflect the current culture of this office. Our most recent well-being survey results have actually shown quite the opposite of what you’ve written. Our Designits feel that they have a close-knit and passionate family in Tokyo, where we spend a great deal of our time caring for both our clients and for one another. Since establishing this office in 2013, we have done our best to ensure that not only do we hire fairly (and in fact we have an even split between men and women and have loved having many international colleagues) but that all rewards, promotions, etc are given strictly based on merit. Of course we know that we’re not perfect and so we encourage any Designit who feels that they’re not being treated fairly to come and discuss these issues with us in confidence. Our doors are always open to hear both positive and critical feedback, as we know that it’s what helps us make the work experience for all Designits even better.

Worst office ever.

Pros

It took me only a few months to realise that the office's management and approach to work is not being effective, motivating or productive. Designit Barcelona is not functioning properly, and this has been clearly evidenced by the fact that three other unhappy coworkers left while I was there (two of them in tears). The only pro was my salary, but most of the time I wasn't given projects to work on, so I did not feel rewarded or valued at all.

Cons

- Directors not qualified for their role. - No efforts to get new projects or clients. - Poor resource management. - Terrible communication with other offices. - Performance reviews not based on objective feedback. - No engagement with the local design community. - No encouragement to develop career goals. - Noisy workplace, extremely hard to focus. - Culture of unnecessary long work hours, regardless of productivity. - And overall, a general lack of commitment to address these issues.

Thanks for sharing your experience with us. We’re really sorry to hear that your time at Designit has been less than ideal. We have looked into the matter and can see that this is not the opinion of our Barcelona employees in general. However, we’ll always take input like yours to heart to ensure that we’re improving the experience for all our Designits around the world. We wish you all the best for the future.
