Vantaggi

None. This place is terrible.

Svantaggi

The four horsemen return. Toxic culture, abysmal pay, stagnant growth and chaotic leadership plague YourStudio. From the moment an individual joins YourStudio, they are immediately confronted with the suffocating atmosphere of a toxic culture, which thrives and is actively nurtured at every level within the organization. Rude behaviour, gaslighting, a complete absence of respect, and pervasive micro-management run rampant, creating an environment that reeks of hostility and discontent. The pay is way below the industry average. This goes hand in hand with how people are treated. Paid three levels below where you are and treated the same. YourStudio has perfected the art of undervaluing its workforce. The absence of structure and responsibility within the company gives rise to an environment that induces tears and despair. Work becomes an exercise in dread and every day is a new red flag in a sea of bad experiences and horrific moments that one desperately wishes to erase from memory. Any semblance of ambition is crushed when individuals are assigned tasks they were performing a decade ago, eradicating any hope of advancement or progress. The company's response to discontent is callous and dismissive, often suggesting that dissatisfied employees seek employment elsewhere as if the fault lies with them for expecting better treatment. The business operations of YourStudio epitomize a haphazard and erratic approach, where every significant decision devolves into a knee-jerk reaction reminiscent of the last desperate gasp of a dying studio. The CEO's unwarranted obsession with efficiencies serves only to underscore the contempt they hold for the very individuals who diligently carry out the company's work. In summary, YourStudio epitomizes incompetence and misery, characterized by a toxic culture, pitiful remuneration, stagnant growth, and inept leadership.

Vantaggi

- The company is a very empowering place for women, something I found very refreshing. - It's a great place to work if you're a direct person who is self starting. - There is space to bring in fresh ideas & ways of working. - They are always open to trying out new ways of presenting & developing design work. - There are some really talented people who work here & some really kind people too. - I believe that the leadership team do care about employees being happy and they are actively working on some of the things mentioned in previous reviews. - I don't believe the company deserves some of the previous reviews (hence my review!). I have worked in many design studios and this was by far one of the nicest and the projects were great. - The Design directors work incredibly hard (to the point of being overworked) and really care about their team. - Overall the positives hugely outweigh the cons and I have good memories of my time there.

Svantaggi

- Depending on when you join YS you're likely to have different experiences. I joined at a point of extreme growth where there was a bit of a freelance/perm divide but that subsides when people aren't so busy. - There were a few big changes that felt like they might have been introduced on a whim. These are likely the reason people who joined as freelancers in 2023 found it a bit chaotic as the perm team were struggling with new roles and responsibilities thrust on them. - I think YS is best for people who are outgoing. I know that the people who struggled to voice their thoughts/wants/ salary expectations tended to be the people who were frustrated. - The career progression is slow, there is an attitude of having to have done the job for a long time before you get the title and pay rise.
