Avantages

- Working with some of the most intelligent people I've ever come across. When I started, I immediately thought "Oh, I think I'm going to have to up my game a bit here" and that was a rare and exciting challenge to experience. Everyone is highly knowledgeable and skilled in the areas they work in and takes ownership of their tasks. It's a pleasure to work with such enthusiastic, inspiring, and thought-provoking individuals. - Having your opinions be heard. Due to the flat hierarchy of the organization - where everyone takes ownership of their tasks and doesn't have to "report" to anyone as such - everyone's opinions are genuinely welcomed and respected. Even if you disagree with an idea from the CEO, you are encouraged to say it! - Getting the time and space for proper concentration time. I transitioned from an office environment into my role with the IDF and immediately realised quite how little gets done in the traditional workplace. In a normal office environment, so many meetings are held and so many ideas are spoken about, leaving no real time for execution. With less than 15% of working time spent on meetings at the IDF, I've found myself getting 3.. 4.. 5.. times as much stuff done as in my previous job. Ultimately, getting a job with the IDF allowed me to become a remote-working, location-independent individual and - as the title of my review states - it has therefore completely transformed the way I am able to live, and my future outlook on life... for the better. If you are an ambitious, organized, and proactive person who's up for an inspiring challenge, then it's an absolutely fantastic place to work.

Inconvénients

The transition period can be a little unusual, especially if you've never worked remotely before however there are a lot of processes in place to help with that. It just takes a bit of time to get into the true flow.... but that would be the case with any remote job!

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

None. This is not a good place to work.

Inconvénients

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.
