Pros
A passage at IDEO can often be a career defining experience that helps people truly understand what type of impact they would like to create using Human-centered Design. Whether they choose to pursue a long career as a design consultant or if they choose to continue as design leaders starting their own businesses or working with influential organisations, time at IDEO helps people see the power of collaboration and insights-driven strategic thinking.
Cons
IDEO tends to hire people that are comfortable in dealing with high levels ambiguity due to the nature of innovation consulting. Although it may sound appealing, this can create a working environment that may not be for everyone as it requires a high level of autonomy.
