Does your company conducts a proper UX research in a user centric way?

Did you join as a Product/UX UI designer and were told that they do UX design research, but later came to know that they just focus on UI part only?

Please mention the name of companies you know of, who invest in product design research.

This may help a lot of people who are starting their career in this field.

Facing the sane issue.
I’ve got enough freedom to ideate but I dont have access to users- so usability testing and user research is gone for a toss.

Even I am facing the same issue. Clients don't understand the importance of research. They just want the job done ASAP with good interface. Lol. I believe this is the reason that so many designs fails.

Every company treats a UI/UX Designer as UI Designer or HTML Developer, very few companies appreciate the knowledge or expertise, i was hired as UI/UX Designer and end up working as a HTML Developer

Same experience. No focus on research. Make some flashy design, if client is happy no one else bothers

Yes definitely faced the same. Initially when I was interviewed I was given the impression UX was a big part of the process but only after getting involved in various projects I realised they expected quick designs based on assumptions made by managers rather than actual data from research. I mostly decided to do my own research and vet the decisions made and fight back with actual research based data and user feedback thanks to help from customer support guys. They knew more about the problems users faced than most managers themselves and helped me get in touch with users too. I would suggest always dig deep and at the end of the day you will be very happy with the results.

Got a 30% salary bump, via an offer for Senior Consultant S&O from Deloitte. Currently underpaid at EY Advisory. I'm MBA and this year is my promotion year at EY for Manager. What to do? Get demoted and move to D? Or counter at EY? Even if EY matches my salary, and promote me to Manager, I will be an EY Manager with a Deloitte SC salary, and probably won't be able to go to D in the future. What do you think? I have built up a good relationship with my Partner and SMs at EY though.

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

I need some legit feedback on what is it like to be a UXD at companies like Accenture?
They claim to do a lot of research oriented designs, as everyone. But is that really the case or it's like some other service based companies where the UX is almost vague, and happens mostly based on what the managers think to be good?

Does UX have any value or it's just drafting wireframes based on ideations by the managers and then UI designs?
