Great company, amazing team and meaningful work - Recensione dipendente - Senior UX Researcher presso Anthro-Tech(WA)

Anthro-Tech is a mission-driven, women-owned and led small business. We get to work with a huge variety of clients on problems that impact people's everyday lives from unemployment insurance, driver's licenses, and transit, to organ donation and career building services (and much more). We use E.O.S. to organize ourselves internally, which means we reset and refocus on our goals as a team and company every 90 days and everyone gets to choose internal projects that propel us forward towards our future vision or solve a problem/opportunity we've identified. This also helps us focus on what's most important, we're all always generating new ideas for how we can continue to improve our business and the way we deliver work to clients, so this structure helps us focus, measure progress, and track great ideas for the future. It's a team of very passionate, smart, kind, and creative people where you will stretch and learn every week while practicing human-centered design with government, non-profit, and other organizations with social impact missions. Most people have been with the team for more than 2 years (some as many as 12! well above UX industry avg.), and we've been growing steadily and sustainably each year since 2015. We are remote/hybrid and offer flexible schedules to our team spread across the U.S.

If you don't enjoy client-facing conversations, collaboration, and context-switching between very diverse tasks and domains/topics throughout your week, this might not be a great fit for you.

Many great people who are attracted to social impact find their way to the company. People are generally collaborative and supportive of each other. You can get exposure to a variety of projects in a short time. You also get a lot of flexibility in terms of how much and when you work.

The owners have a hard time delegating even though they say they want to grow the company. The owners also have a bad habit of raising their voices and sending rude messages when they are stressed. Most employees are paid hourly but management doesn't have a good handle on forecasting and staffing so there are weeks when you don't have work to do and don't get paid. There's not much understanding about DEI other than accessibility. The definition of "social impact" is diluted when financial interests are involved.
