Svantaggi
There is 'no clear feedback culture' – you’re criticized whether you ask too many questions or too few. Feedback often comes in vague forms like “make the design GOOD” or “it must represent your highest standard,” without any real guidance. Toxic atmosphere where everyone fears for their job. The CEO personally interferes with almost every detail, especially in design work. It’s common to receive threatening weekend messages such as “if you don’t step up, we’ll have to replace you” or “this is a startup – if you don’t like the pace, go work for Microsoft.” Public humiliation is frequent in public channels meetings when you don’t understand something ("this is the worst specification I've ever seen, ... you're supposed to be smart," that discourages questions and leads to confusion, stress, and additional iterations. You’re expected to be constantly available, even on weekends. The company culture feels more like a cult than a workplace. The so-called “design system” is poorly structured, full of basic errors, and actively prevents designers from doing high-quality work – yet you’re forced to rely on it. If you actually care about product design and mental well-being, stay away.
