Icrave Design reviews

To this day it is the most toxic company I have ever worked for. There is zero empathy for any members of staff below management level, you are treated like a factory worker and they don't care about you or anything else you may have going on in your life. If you make your staff work all the hours under the sun they will not be able to function properly or produce work that is good quality. Their health will also be compromised. One time i was sick (literally vomiting) and they said - 'you can work from home then'. People treated as disposable to the point where a MANAGER played the song ‘another one bites the dust’ full blast after they fired someone or someone decided to leave and they had left the building. This was a regular occurrence. The company does not foster a teaching environment. Design management do not teach people lower them. Do you want your life to be constant high stress and made to feel invaluable whilst not being taught anything by management? Then work here but be warned !

Project Management Challenges: There is a recurring issue with project management, leading to extensive work hours. Project managers sometimes become overly involved in the design process, which can slow down project momentum. A clearer definition of roles and responsibilities is needed so that project managers focus on overseeing the high-level project plan and coordinating the team, without delving into implementation details. From the design side, work often has to be redone due to insufficient oversight of more junior team members' output. This review process should take place throughout the project rather than at the last minute when deadlines are looming. While it’s understood that managers have their own significant workloads, this issue points to broader concerns around staffing and scheduling, which should be addressed to ensure proper review time is allocated. Conflict in Standards Between Teams: There appears to be a clear disconnect between the approach of our team and the broader company. While the parent company is aiming to foster a modern, healthy working environment with standardized processes and opportunities for growth, the team here has expressed resistance to these changes. Senior members have voiced dissatisfaction with the parent company’s efforts, which has created tension around how projects are managed. Communication Concerns: Communication, particularly during tight deadlines, has sometimes been perceived as harsh or condescending by multiple team members. This feedback applies to some, but not all, managers. These negative interactions can be demoralizing, especially for those already working extended hours.
