Avantages
I worked as a UX Designer at Hook & Loop, Infor's design "agency." Some of the best people I have ever worked with. So much talent came through our doors. A lot of us stayed, but a lot of other designers saw the light and took better jobs elsewhere. I learned a lot from these people, and I am a better designer because of them. The office camaraderie was excellent, and we all respected each other. We worked but we had a lot of fun too. Pay and benefits were decent, and the location was perfect.
Inconvénients
I don't have a lot of great things to say about the company itself. Hook & Loop was an experiment, and I think we spent a lot of time and energy justifying our usefulness to the executives. The first few years felt directionless, with strategies frequently shifting. I made a lot of screens for products that never made it past the demo stage. Projects seemed to move at a glacial pace. Management changed often and usually without much notice. I felt like the managers were always struggling to find their way. Layoffs totally killed morale. Also, the Koch Brothers / Koch Industries are heavily invested in Infor. So that's a thing. I didn't feel good about their politics.
