“Heavy pro's mixed with heavy con's. Be advised. (For BBY Health - BBY Retail is completely different)”
Pros- As long as you know how to set boundaries, the work life balance is impeccable.
- I've been here for almost three years and the overal product/design process in improving
- The pay is average
- (Most) of the team(s) are wonderful. 95% solid people who care, who treat each other well
- Sometimes fulfilling work, as it's Best Buy Health
- Ambiguity begets available growth, depending on how strong of a designer/communicator you are
Cons- The 5% of OM's/PM's/leadership that are bad make up for 90% of your problems
- Leadership would prefer to keep their head in the sand, then get to work fixing big problems
- The product/design process is terrible, and even if it's getting incrementally better it's a top down issue so good luck improving it.
- No design manager support. 75% of my time i have been without a manager
- Little growth oppertunities, unless you finagle your own path.
- Pay is average
- The design works lacks value, lacks testing, lacks research support, lacks iterations and is waterfall masquerading as agile.
