      A good first step in your career, but further progression is limited

      User experience designer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      A great place to get started and learn about user experience design. Most people are genuinely friendly. Fun company events and activities. Some clients are good portfolio pieces.

      Cons

      Since the acquisition, the focus has been on increasingly on financial results over meaningful output. The mission is fuzzy - a drive for scale for scale's sake. Although the company claims for transparency, important information is delivered haphazardly, causing anxiety and turmoil that could be easily avoided. Consultancy nature results in projects getting designed but never shipped and used by real people. Career progression is opaque, friends with management get better deals. Some clients are bad, and people might get "stuck" on them for several months. The company acknowledges challenges but has little leverage of pipeline negotiations since acquisition. The company doesn't have a strong stance on backing professional opinions in a consultancy setting - a lot of effort is put on making clients happy, in detriment of better output/craftsmanship.

      A good place to work with lots of young people

      Account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      The people at Intrepid are great. The team is young, which can be good if you're young as well. There are lots of fun things about working at Intrepid like Friday team dinners / happy hours and company BBQs.

      Cons

      The work can lack direction sometimes and even though you get assigned a manager, the mentoring portion of it sometimes goes out the window. Sometimes feel like I'm going it alone and my manager doesn't have time for me.

      Good learning opportunities but very cliquey high school culture

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      There are some truly smart people at the company and there are many opportunities to learn from a technical perspective.

      Cons

      Highly cliquish culture; either you are part of the 'in' crowd or you are permanently shunned/ignored upper management. A contributing factor is that they hire many new college grads so average age is quite low. I think it's a decent first stop for a new graduate but I would not recommend it for anyone with some experience under their belt.

      Underpaid and limited growth

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      People are kind and collaborative, work from home

      Cons

      Lack of exciting client work. The pay is well below market rate for software engineers and designers in NYC. More of a corporate feel and not a startup environment. Culture struggles to keep up with high attrition rate.

      Good first job, great culture. Not many opportunities climbing up

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Had a great ~3 years at the company. Started as an apprentice and was hired full time. This was a really good first job and learned a lot about how to build a team culture and saw the company grow from 150 - 250 people. People are easy to talk to, will listen to what you have to say, and if you will get many opportunities to get involved with the team if you're a proactive person. Will recommend as a first job but not as a mid/senior career level position.

      Cons

      Very cliquey. People in the 'circle' are privy to a lot of things which employees don't know about, even though transparency is one of the values. You'll realize after some time that there are not many opportunities to climb up and you'll feel stuck. The quality of the projects has decreased.
