Pros

I've worked in several consultancies large and small in the past and D+I is definitely one of the best. D+I had a big re-vamp several years ago, and is probably very different now compared to 10 years ago when a lot of the reviews were written. Lots of senior designers and engineers to learn from. Great variety of projects to work on. Quality of work is industry leading. Flexible hours. Great office environment, recently renovated. Excellent pay structure. You get paid hourly so get paid for any overtime - unheard of in most industrial design consultancies. Pay is better than other similar companies. Friendly and very talented staff. Great (and D+I unique) project management softwares saves considerable time and allows you to focus more on what matters - design work. Regular BBQs and friday drinks / food.

Kontras

Most of the cons with D+I are typical of design consultancies and hard to get away from if you want to be a part of the design consultancy world. Design consultancy can be a difficult game and if this is the first consultancy you work in then it may seem that the 'grass is greener' elsewhere. Your success will depend on how well you manage your clients. If you struggle to manage clients well then you will have an uncomfortable time. D+I does expect a lot of autonomy from its employees and you have to be able to hold your own. It may be a steep learning curve for those with less than 5 years experience. There will always be time and budget constraints in consultancy which will frustrate you at times.

Pros

Team themselves are Very talented. Nice working space if you are given a suitable spot to sit

Kontras

No opportunity to grow. Very much a dictatorship style of leadership. Bully mentality. Very much like a convey-belt way of ;pumping out work. Management, only tell you when you have done something wrong and never commend you when you have done something right. A lot of discrimination and sexism particularly to females. They place people in areas in the office based on favoritism. If you are favored then you are one of the luck ones, otherwise you are placed in the dark spot in the office, where no one wants to sit. They draw you into the company based on their image and accolades but very different story when you are in and on the other side of the fence.

Pros

Some of the work is interesting and some of the people are great. You mostly bond over the annoying stuff you have to deal with, using gifs.

Kontras

Dealing with the management team at this company often felt like dealing with my boomer father-in-law; - a complete lack of empathy for others - An unwillingness to consider change (unless it leads to profit in their pockets) - A stance that they always know better, and your opinion is not valid as you don’t have the experience they have - Immediately going on the defensive after any constructive feedback, leaving you feeling completely unheard They have a completely outdated idea of what company culture is. It’s not about free coffee and Friday drinks, it’s about trust, recognition and caring about employees well-being. Covid only cemented the feeling of lack of trust and the unhealthy pressure they put on you to get 100% billable hours. My mental health has improved immensely since leaving the company, and I only regret not leaving sooner. The 80% salary increase I got when I moved helped too… make sure you negotiate what you’re worth because they absolutely won’t reward you financially for good work unless you fight for it. I will say, a lot of the issues with D+I are common across other Australian consultancies, so they are not unique in that respect. It takes a specific type of person to thrive and get satisfaction in that environment, and my advice would be to get out if it doesn’t work for you, and find an in-house role. There used to be loads of negative reviews on here, not sure how they’ve disappeared…
