Pluspunten
The folks who work at Tank are amazing, patient, and kind, they really push the envelope with their work, and will become fast friends. Hanging out after work was always a highlight.
A lot of the work I've been able to contribute to has been top notch and I feel a lot of pride with what Tank has empowered me to do. No one is looking over your shoulder there, you are trusted to complete your work, and learn as you go.
Minpunten
Tank has several partners who have gone into retirement, who no longer show up at the office, but still have controlling interests in the company. The remaining leadership is white, male, with old print and visual design backgrounds, preferring abstraction and Swiss design. Not necessarily a bad thing, except when it comes to understanding market trends, and what is necessary for effective modern product design.
I have heard rumor of many recent layoffs as well and know several really talented designers have already found new jobs. The user experience team has also flattened.
No bad blood from me, though, I hope they can one day return to what they were before the pandemic.
