Pros

Client interaction at all levels of experience Projects from a wide range of industries Multidiscipline environment

Cons

In any company, the cultural drive to create the best designs possible comes from the top down and Speck’s CEO/Owner does not have the experience or genuine desire to do the work it takes. It’s all about the bottom line and selling the company. Your passion for design will be drained until there is only a husk. Many promises for benefits like matching 401K are “offered” but there is little follow through or consistency. Turnover has significant effects on culture and maintaining internal processes. You are “required” to meet a 40 hour billable week which is difficult when you end up with 8-12 hours of internal meetings a week.

Pros

Speck Design works with some of the biggest names in the bay area. The ability to work on groundbreaking products is what drew me to the company and it has not disappointed. Speck Design is in a unique position with the recent acquisition by Future Brands. This has opened up many more opportunities. If you are the kind of person who embraces a challenge and loves to drive change, then Speck is the place for you. The staff is a unique mix of disciplines and everyone works well together. There is never a dull moment.

Cons

There are some growing pains and organizational challenges which come with an acquisition, but I am positive these will be resolved in the near future.
