I am working at an educational institution whose primary business is designing for the educational institution from its branding to marketing to public image.
My schedule is Monday through Thursday 10 AM to 5 PM. The plan is to work from home on Monday and Thursday. And I’ll be focusing on pre-production and post-production remotely. On Tuesday and Wednesday, I will come on-site and do some in-house shooting in the studio.
Based on my observation, the culture of my workplace is more toward Clan culture. It feels like everyone in the company supports each other professionally. We shared the same goal and our supervisor trust us to work autonomously. He also gives us the resources we need and a safe and comfortable space to work. Whether it is remotely or working on site.
There is no specific dress code as I am aware. One can wear as comfortable as they wish to, no professional attire is needed. Nevertheless, I always make sure I dress appropriately, with nothing too revealing or unprofessional to work.
The office was set up as an open workspace with cubicles. Furthermore, the supervisor and senior designers have their private rooms. And it also holds a compact photography studio. The photo above shows the overall aesthetics of the studio we have in the office. I haven’t run through a whole workday because of some technical issue with the computer in the office. So I had to bring materials home and work remotely for most days.
A little update on the project: I’m still working on the first video project I was assigned on my first day. I was also given information about the second project which involved photography, motion, and video production. I am very excited about it.
