that seems somewhat of an anomaly, but maybe it's not - it just hasn't been the norm on most projects I've been on - both as a freelancer and working at small companies, large companies and agencies.
That really takes a dedication and long-term view that doesn't seem present with most orgs. A non-long-term view also impacts a lot of the actual software too - I'm working with a large enterprise company right now that has rather immense challenges - UX is so low down on the list right now. And yet... they keep getting new customers, and, from what I've seen, it's because their UX is still better than that of their competition, which is truly ... shocking.
- nkrisc 7y agoA bit of an anomaly from an organizational perspective, but as UX designer it didn't like anything usual. Every designer I knew in my professional circle, though, wouldn't even bat an eye at it, it was taken for granted that you'd be very attentive to user feedback, after all that's your job! Advocate for the user. What are you wasting your time with if not that? But maybe it was a bit of a bubble in a sense. Neither I nor the other designers I knew would take a job at a place that didn't understand an appreciate the value of UX (unless that job was specifically to help change that), so that might be it. We didn't just want to be a mockup monkey spitting out pretty designs.
