Great place, great people! - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso II By IV Design

supportive and talented colleagues, wide range of responsibilities, educational and trip opportunities, dog friendly, lunch and learn perks, standard benefits

overtime is expected, poor salary compensation and barely to no annual raises/bonus, management could improve on resource allocations and anticipated deadline communications, could be more transparent overall with business management.

Half the project opportunities are decent (if you actually get to work on them). They do have some great designers to get to know.

Compensation is low compared to other studios. No bonuses, no raises, and very rare in-studio promotions. They have a benchmarking program that fails designers. Annual reviews have no outcome. No desire for employee retention - loss of 7-9 staff members in almost half a year. Very obvious favouritism of staff and unfair treatment between departments. Designers are forced to work in office and technicians are able to work at home. Dated ideas of what it means to be a contributing designer. Pigeon holes designers into roles they cannot grow in. Poor client management; very yes man. Glorifies OT and burns designers out. Shames people for not going to office parties.
