Pluspunten

The pay is competitive, pto is nice, but the company doesn’t even respect your pto anyways. Their projects matter more to them than the individuals.

Minpunten

There were an abundance of talented designers that are leaving in the masses because they know what’s good for them. People continually get promoted that have questionable morals, and treat other people terribly. The work is mediocre and accenture kills the excitement out of any project. I was shocked to continuously find one soul-sucking human after another in accenture, and it never gets better. They don’t value your opinion, knowledge, or craft unless you are a man at a high level in the company. Then they oggle over you. The company seems to be doing well, but does not care to reward their hardworking employees or even recognize them. As the years go by, Fjord is continuing to dissolve as a quality design agency and losing its culture. Oh and design? Don’t even think about working here if you want to grow as a designer. Design is not understood here, and probably never will be. Service design is put on a pedestal, but no one is going to be able to understand your research unless you can adequately communicate it visually.

Pluspunten

Incredibly smart people. Great camaraderie. You will absolutely make friends working here. The company has a well-known name and good reputation. Some big name clients. Work-life balance was usually good, comparatively speaking. Compensation and benefits are good.

Minpunten

Lots of typical post-acquisition woes: Bottlenecks to getting answers to questions, supplies, etcetera. Degrading company culture. The pipeline of work is very disappointing. The work shown on the website and in the company videos is not the work actually being done in the studio–at least not in NYC. Instead of working on innovative client work, you work on a lot of website reskins for Accenture clients. You end up working on the same 2-3 clients, and can get entrenched on projects for long periods of time without the option to work on something else. Management, while well-intentioned, can be frustrating. There is open communication, and you're free to pull management aside whenever you need to, but problems are often met with "sorry you have to deal with this" instead of any potential solutions. There's a mass exodus of talent, which may contribute to this sort of attitude. It often felt like senior management was not listening to the concerns of the floor, and the transparent communication is one-sided. The overall mood in the office is generally downcast, frustrated, and fed up, leading to what can be a very depressing workplace.
