Thank you for your comment. We pride ourselves on being a consultancy that doesn't celebrate long hours as we think it's a sign of something not going right. If you are having to work above and beyond normal hours over a long period of time, please tell us so we can look into how we can work smarter.

Pros

- Global team - Great Finance and Operations team mindset - service minded - make it happen mentality - Creative environment at the top of its game! - Possibility to travel - Autonomy and empowerment - Great exposure to the business, decision making and strategy thanks to a flat organisation and friendly management team - Social gatherings and events!

Cons

- 15+ offices across several time zones --> work life balance is impacted - Pension and social benefits not competitive due to the relatively small size of the entities in their respective countries (gross salary in line with competition)

Thank you for your kind words and for the 5 years you helped us on our journey! We are constantly reviewing our benefits package across all offices to remain competitive. Hopefully our in-house chef, Friday bar, personal development, summer parties in and other things in our Copenhagen office still made you feel appreciated for your contribution to the team. Mikael

Pros

- Energetic co-workers (in Tokyo and all over the world) that are always willing to lend knowledge and help whenever needed. - Small team = freedom and responsibility to shape how designers want to work. - The Tokyo office really respects the work-life balance. Working over time is not encouraged. - More and more interesting projects have been coming into the office for the past few years. - Designers are supported to grow in fields they want to grow in.

Cons

- Salaries may not be as competitive. - Global company = sometimes late night calls. Which is fun but a bit unfortunate at the same time.

Konichiwa! Great to hear from an old friend and it makes us all warm and fuzzy when we hear that you love Designit as much as we do. Autonomy and professional development through working on interesting projects is exactly what Designit is about. Working overtime and burning out is not. We hope that you were able to find some balance with those late night calls. We wish you all the best in your new job and keep in touch. Mikael
