It really depends where you work. My role where i work encourages to push back on the problem we are trying to solve. For instance, a project we had we were told we had to do a 'big bang' solution to fix a problem. We had time to investigate the issues and found out that there were 'leaky buckets' to fix. This resulted in small changes being made very cheaply, monitoring the improvements and in the end getting a more accurate benchmark. This then meant that improvements to the various touch points were as friendly for our customer as possible. To me this is the core of UX, not just smashing out specs and wireframes but actually being user centric when problem solving. I do work in-house so I guess I have more skin in the game.

- ... remember when being interviewed you also interview the company if it suits you. You can also get a heads up before applying by questioning.antonyjwhite
