From my Experience, Good Design and a good User Experience do not always go hand in hand. I've met Designers that were awesome at Designing Stuff, but did not really have any interest in User Experience at all. I've also met Designers that were good at both (which is what I strive for). In some sense, it may come down to what roles and responsibilities you assign to the Designer, how many Designers you have, and how that particular organization works. Generally speaking, bigger organizations tend to have more moving components, which means you may end up with multiple people fulfilling multiple roles. In this type of environment, it's possible that the people involved loose sight of the overall Project, instead focusing on their individual components. This could explain how you end up with a poor User Experience, even with a team of great Designers. Blame it on Management. (hehehe)
