Started freelance gig on the side there as what I thought would be product designer but they only wanted research but not market and not ux And only secondary research said they outsourced the ux research to McKinsey but wouldn’t show me the research report so I could at least know what I didn’t have to do . Lied and gave me a ux research report they said was by McKinsey but really it was created by Accenture and was the most embarrassing display of incompetence I had ever seen. The numbers didn’t add up it was all gibberish and Made no sense. No source on how they got their data nothing. They give me no real information on their products and no info beyond a brief onboarding as to their users. Then fire me a few days later bc I was taking too long and it’s like taking too long TO DO WHAT Manager tells me that I’m “too in depth” with research and that’s the reason why. Glad to be away from them all. it spells illegal #design #design #design #ui/ux #ui/ux
Any legacy company is probably a shit show internally. That’s why they are legacy companies. 80% of startups are simply a nice UX over an existing legacy product or service.
Yah I know the difference I’ve worked at Microsoft and I’ve worked FTE and now I’m At Grammarly full time. That doesn’t answer my question I was a direct contractor .
