Vantaggi

- This is a one-of-a-kind team of smart, hardworking folks who will end up becoming like family to you! - The leadership prioritizes company culture and works hard to create a fun and stimulating work environment. - Essential attracts clients from across the globe with interesting design challenges, especially in the healthcare space. I was able to travel a lot through my job and work on a diverse range of projects from consumer goods to drug delivery devices - the exposure to new industries is incredible (and unlike any experience you might get at a larger agency). - As an employee, you have the ability to take initiative on ideas anything to run clubs or trying out a new approaches to the design process.

Svantaggi

- Like any close knit family, Essential has its quirks! - As with all consulting companies, you can go from having a super busy schedule, working several projects at once to very slow periods when the work is light. It can be a great opportunity for internal projects and continuing education but you have to take initiative.

Vantaggi

Essential is a small, tightly-knit family of people dedicated to doing great work for interesting clients. The people are friendly and helpful -- if guidance or assistance is needed, all you have to do is ask. Great company culture. The diverse range of projects (all kinds of medical, consumer, and commercial products) keeps things interesting and your mind engaged. Because of the small size of the company, each team member can provide significant impacts on their projects, if they have the initiative.

Svantaggi

Since each person is often working on multiple projects (in different stages of the development process) at once, the work requires people who can multitask, keep the "big picture" for each project in view, and still focus on the important details. Some people aren't suited to this. (This is par-for-the-course for consulting firms, but different than most corporate jobs.) Disciplines (research, design, engineering) are relatively "silo-ed", sometimes working in an independent / separated manner rather than collaborating cohesively throughout a project. The industrial design team sometimes struggles with thinking through the manufacturability of their concepts, leading to frustratingly iterative debates with the engineering team.
