Working inside a legacy company and with diverse thought leaders is icing on the cake! Working as a product designer on Arc XP, our cloud-based digital experience platform that helps enterprise companies, retail brands and media and entertainment organizations create and distribute content, drive digital commerce, and deliver powerful multichannel experiences, Caytlyn doesn’t want a job where she puts pen to paper and then calls it a day.
