Pros

This schools pros are non.

Cons

Deceptive Design that takes advantage of students by lying and promising world wide job placement, WITHOUT any means to do so. I could not continue being a mentor in good conscience when they were sending me students they hadn’t properly educated they claim to be a UX school but HAVE AWFUL ux design they exploit not only their students but their faculty with subjecting them to having to do free work.

Hi there. It seems you reviewed the wrong company. We do not promise world-wide job placement, we do not ask our students to do free work, and we also do not have (very many) mentors. I think you're talking about "Design Lab", which is a company in New York (your profile says you're from New York). Sending you positive thoughts!

Pros

The Interaction Design Foundation has a fantastic culture that is among the best I've seen at the companies I’ve worked for. Everyone really cares about their colleagues and especially the students who have entrusted their education to us. I feel privileged to educate the designers of tomorrow. I work with students from all over the world, and that helps me reinforce my belief that design is truly a cross-cultural and universal matter.

Cons

Language can present a challenge when working with students who aren’t proficient in English.

Pros

None. This is not a good place to work.

Cons

CEO thinks he’s a software engineer, but he jack squat about actual engineering. This is a terrible place to work and management has completely misaligned priorities.
