Pros

The pay and perks are very good.

Cons

At Able you are expected to execute on high-quality UI. Not on solving problems, doing user research, or validating assumptions. Able's clients do not want input from product designers. Undoing work and redoing it is a common practice. Often times, Able products do not launch. It is more project work, than product work. If you are a UI designer who enjoys a fast-paced environment, this is a good fit.

Pros

Pay was generous and fringe benefits were great. Remote work, no ridiculous hybrid schedules. Intelligent, caring colleagues. Used to have a great culture.

Cons

Could see the downward trajectory coming a mile away. From a business standpoint, there was a lack of legit new business pipeline that was apparent in 2023. From a culture standpoint, it appeared to unravel rapidly in 2023. Heavy bro culture, misogyny is rather insidious. This reflects Andy’s “leadership” which also explains the culture eroding. Chasing VC firms was a poor growth strategy. It has and will continue to have a negative effect on the company. The lack of accountability for this strategy speaks volumes. With Mike not involved, the company is like the Titanic. Mike is a true leader whereas Andy is not. Andy will end up running the company into the ground.
