Saw an opening in the design research team and I'm thinking of applying. So I was wondering if anyone can share their experiences with the team?
From what I've gathered so far experience can vary greatly depending on group?
Most of their work is purely focused on ethnographic bs studies which are an excuse for them to spend a ton of money on themselves to prove very obvious, basic points on how customers use email. Research chain doesn’t have a great relationship with most of the pm/eng teams either and your manager(s) prob won’t care too much about what you personally are working on if it doesn’t ladder up to whatever sounds cool at that point in time.
Design research? Like researcher? Their research team is total bs
Yup! What makes you think that?
