Comfortable, stable design agency with an awesome design culture, great co-workers and a beautiful office. - werkgeversreview Senior Designer bij DesignMap

Diversity of projects give great variety and experience with many domains, products, and working relationships. Company treats all employees like family and really cares about their mental health. Excellent place to practice and grow multiple design methods and skills while managing clients. Great people all around. Great client partnerships in general.

Given the variety of projects, some are great (fascinating space, great partnerships/collaborators, clear direction) while others are not (difficult stakeholders, ambiguity, unclear definition/measures of success). But that's the nature of agency work. Some people aren't cut out for it. Working remote at an agency is hard. Difficult to leverage collective expertise of the studio and form tangential (out of project) relationships, but they're doing their best to account for that. Sometimes hard to take a breath due to booming demand. Workload can vary dramatically week to week, project to project.

After having worked here for almost 2 years now, I can confidently say that choosing to work here has lived up to all my expectations and then some. When I interviewed for the position, I was keen on working here because I was very impressed with their portfolio of work, and the great attitude the people I spoke with had -- they were the kind of people you'd definitely want as colleagues. And in the past two years, I've had the opportunity of working with some brilliant designers that I've learned so much from while collaborating on challenging projects. The leadership also puts a great deal of focus on mentoring their employees and helping us grow our career in the direction we envision. One of the other greatest advantages is that we get the benefit of working in a studio that has lots of interesting clients without letting it affect our work-life balance. Most agency work definitely involves really long hours, but here at DesignMap we work hard while still valuing our personal time. Needless to say, I really love working here!

There isn't really anything I personally dislike about working here.
