Pros

SOME of the creative directors are very nice.

Cons

I started as an emerging creative and had to leave because the experience was awful, and I know that I am not the only one who feels that way. Designity claims they want to support creatives, but believe me, they are only looking for people to do extremely cheap labor for them by dangling the possibility of a higher salary in front of your face, but it is actually nearly impossible to move up, no matter how hard you try. Their "job board" is just a slack chat that is full of hundreds of creatives fighting over the handful of projects they have to offer. There will MAYBE be one job posting a day that is already marked as "taken" the second it is posted. Even if you do get on a project, the payment is embarrassingly low. You will also be pressured into attending meetings and doing presentations for NO COMPENSATION. I saw the CEO on here talking back to someone saying he "doesn't tolerate sub-par work", and I say we shouldn't tolerate company that takes advantage of people, manipulates, and doesn't compensate you for your work.

Thank you for your feedback! Emerging creatives receive compensation that aligns with industry standards for entry-level positions. While the payment may reflect the educational component of working under the guidance of our creative directors, we firmly believe that our compensation is fair and competitive. We also communicate the amount of compensation for each project very clearly upfront. Regarding your "extremely cheap labor," It is important to clarify that our hiring strategy is not predicated on securing "extremely cheap labor," as mentioned. Our decision to recruit creatives exclusively from the United States, despite the cost advantages of engaging offshore designers, underscores our commitment to quality and local talent development. We take pride in our structured growth plan, which has facilitated the advancement of many creatives to senior positions within our organization over recent years. It is unfortunate if any individual has not experienced this progression, but such an outcome should not be viewed as indicative of systemic shortcomings. Regarding our use of Slack as a tool during the early stages of our platform development, it is important to correct any misperceptions. At no point did we have "hundreds of creatives fighting over a handful of projects." In reality, only two to three candidates typically applied for each project, ensuring a manageable and fair selection process. That said we now have our tech paltform launched which resolved this matter. We wich you all the best with your next position.

Pros

Designity has played a huge role in my professional growth. I've had the opportunity to work with incredible clients, collaborate with talented creatives, and take on leadership responsibilities that have expanded my skills beyond design alone. The culture is supportive, flexible, and filled with people who care about doing great work. I've especially appreciated the trust that's given to creatives and the opportunities to make a meaningful impact.

Cons

Agency life naturally comes with changing priorities and busy seasons, but I've found that communication and support are always available when needed.

Pros

I’ve really enjoyed my collaboration here with Designity over the past few years. They has a strong vision, supportive and really hardworking leadership, and a culture that genuinely values creativity and growth. One thing I appreciate most is the flexibility and the opportunity to work with talented people across different industries and projects. I’ve personally never had any issues with payments or professionalism. Everything has always been handled properly and on time, which is something I truly value when working with a company long-term. The leadership team is ambitious and focused on building something sustainable for the future, which gives me confidence in where the company is heading. I also appreciate that they continue investing in improving the organization and creating more stability for the core team. Overall, I love my job and feel grateful to be part of Designate with such an exciting future ahead.

Cons

Recently, the company made the difficult decision to reduce some freelancer and part-time positions in order to invest more heavily in full-time team members and long-term growth. Naturally, that made some people unhappy, which is understandable. Change is never easy, especially in creative industries. However, from my perspective, the decisions were made with the future of the company in mind, and I believe the leadership is trying to build a stronger and more sustainable organization.
