This is for the brand STUDIO ROOF based in Amsterdam (Glassdoor won't let me choose the correct company name) - Recensione dipendente - Graphic / Product Designer presso Studio Roosegaarde

Resourceful studio full of workshops The creative environment and freedom to experiment

I was hired as an intern even if I had completed my full cycle of study (Bachelor and Master) and my salary was 300 Euro per month. Despite the small salary, they demanded work until late afternoon, even for dinner time, and we would have dinner all together with the team, something that was quite oppressive and difficult to refuse. The small team was formed just by Dutch white males, very poor inclusivity. Being not Dutch myself I had a lot of difficulties communicating with them, as they would always speak in Dutch even in front of me and they have been arrogant sometimes. In the end, the perception you gain is to work hard for the glory of a design start that is internationally famous and even if you are not paid well you have to thank the Design God to have the opportunity to be there. Not recommended at all.

You 'learn by doing' in a team of designers and engineers. There were 12 projects running at the same time, some in prototype phase, others in final stage. Its always new and different and the team values any input. The working space is gorgeous and there is a free lunch.

Not too much explanation and many projects are running at the same time. So you really have to find your own way of working.
