Pros

cool office and cool employees. The team is unique and fun. The idea of the company is really cool in and of itself. Everyone (including the clients worked with) are very creative. Never felt micromanaged; could work quietly and independently. Team meetings were successful.

Cons

little room for career growth in this specific role

Pros

A lot of companies like to tout themselves as "families". In a lot of cases, most even, that's just a buzz word. At DBH, even working remotely, I've never felt more like I was working in a company with such a singular focus, passion, and most importantly - understanding. In the face of DBH, "family" is more than just a buzz word. Egos rarely get in the way of what needs to get done - good ideas are brought to the forefront, regardless of who has them. Each person is encouraged to get ingrained in the culture not only of the company, but of the market we empower. Unlike most companies that go after the gaming community from the outside, DBH becomes a part of it with true subject matter expertise and desire to empower. If I had to put DBH into one word - it would be "Real". Nothing ever felt like it was done solely with revenue in mind. Every single person at DBH cares deeply about our mission, and work together as an efficient until to accomplish it. Initiatives were thought out before being executed on - not started bombastically and then abandoned, like so many other companies. Buzzwords don't exist at DBH - everything is looked at through a lense of reality, and truthful negatives / opportunities are never excused with "oh but we are passionate so it'll be fine". Things actually get done here. I can't recommend the company enough.

Cons

As an account manager, with the nature of the market, and in combination with working remote, and the apathetic nature of some of the gamers, the work/life balance was a bit much. This is less the case when working from PST, but still a factor. There was a certain employee who would post a few too many GIFs in Slack. Kappa

Pros

Tons of licenses to work with including Star Wars, Marvel, Nintendo, etc. Independent artist stores to collaborate with

Cons

My experience at DesignByHumans was something left to be desired. I started as the social media coordinator and it was great at first, but it soon turned out to be a toxic work environment. First off, I never received my 90-day review even after being there for 8 months. Second, I took over various marketing tasks that needed to be completed such as affiliate marketing, all graphic design, email marketing campaigns, and customer service without any raise or promotion after being communicated I was in line for one for over three months. Third and most importantly, the rude remarks and comments made by upper management were frustrating. It felt as if I couldn't ask for help and If I did ask, I was met with hostility and questions as responses that made me feel stupid for even asking. If you are considering working at DesignByHumans, please check out their Trustpilot and Google reviews to see more. It will explain everything that management does not care to fix.
