Pros

I never imagined I would get to work with my favourite author. He is now one of the people who helps create the courses at the IDF. It’s a pleasure to have him and other intelligent and dynamic people as my colleagues. Yay!

Cons

Having had a previous position at large company, it was very difficult for me to get used to being entrusted with so much responsibility. On one hand it was reassuring to know that management had such faith in my abilities. On the other hand I was freaking out. I got used to it, but it was a couple of difficult months.

Thanks for your honest review. Responsibility tends to be a double edged sword. It can motivate and invigorate, but it can also burden and dishearten. I am glad to see that you have made a successful transition from the latter to the former. In our experience, this journey, while challenging, is worth it as it has a positive impact on your career, but also makes people more happy and fulfilled in their other endeavours and personal lives.

Pros

The Interaction Design Foundation has a fantastic culture that is among the best I've seen at the companies I’ve worked for. Everyone really cares about their colleagues and especially the students who have entrusted their education to us. I feel privileged to educate the designers of tomorrow. I work with students from all over the world, and that helps me reinforce my belief that design is truly a cross-cultural and universal matter.

Cons

Language can present a challenge when working with students who aren’t proficient in English.

Pros

None. This is not a good place to work.

Cons

CEO thinks he’s a software engineer, but he jack squat about actual engineering. This is a terrible place to work and management has completely misaligned priorities.
