Betrayal

Pros

We thought we we were going to change the world

Cons

We thought we we were going to change the world, but instead it was just an elaborate scheme to sell to a bigger company so that the CEO could retire rich. I feel betrayed, lied to, misled. This company will be dust in a few years.

Not an Honest Business

Pros

As others have mentioned, there's good people at this shop.

Cons

The senior designers here are completely tone deaf to the client, and either you are 'banned' from the only project and not protected from client, or you're stuck on it with redicuous hours and expectations. If you're a female you will be the subject of sexually explicit group chats and you will feel the eyes of the male employees all over you as you walk by. If you're a dude, I hope you wear the right clothes and call people 'bruh'. If you want to see how things really work, click on rating trends to see a sudden jump in positive employee reviews that have been posted all of a sudden, after years of consistently bad ones. Instead of improving the toxic climate, the solution is more lies?

Pros

(I've been working at matter for one year. I've previously worked as a lead ID contractor for the past 10 years at multiple tier-one design studios within SF. I joined Matter because after contracting with them I liked what I saw.) - We work with amazing clients ranging from fortune 500 companies to startups. As a designer you couldn't ask for better variety. - The collaboration between the design teams and client teams is refreshing. Matter works closely with clients, evolving projects together in order to produce well conceived products, as well as happy clients who enjoy sharing that sense of ownership in the design process. - The design team is currently a good mix of very diverse designers from different backgrounds. There is a great mix of junior designers and well-seasoned senior designers in ALL disciplines within the studio: ID, UX/UI, - Max is a very approachable and thoughtful CEO. Not over bearing – he gives his designers creative freedom - but is also fully engaged on all projects. He is a studio leader that likes to be involved in all aspects of the company including rolling up his sleeves and sketching/model making with the design teams.

Cons

- I personally wish we had more tools in our shop, but I'm a shop guy so thats to be expected.
