Pros
Great opportunities for travel and interviewing leading names in the industry.
Kontras
There is no official growth program or any encouragement of growth. Employees are brought in as interns and given no formal training. The Editor-in-Chief is an extreme manipulative person, who says inappropriate things about staff and people in the industry. Company benefits don’t exist except elements of the job which are sold to the individual as ‘perks’ when in fact they are just requirements of the role and are actually work. Unfortunately, Designboom has a name which makes a bigger impression on people who have no idea the inner workings of the company. Fast writing without proper checks of facts or quality is prioritised in place of real, culturally engaging projects to benefit both readers and the writers.
