Mundane - Senior Designer CallisonRTKL Employee Review

Pros

Good benefits, longer PTO compared to other similar companies, get the opportunity to design and follow up your project consistently, more or less, but still, for a large firm like this you need to switch around projects.

Cons

Not innovative enough in terms of design, though the corporate level pushes so. Cost driven, profit driven, few projects could make you really proud as being an architect. Low pay, even consider the longer PTO, if I convert the extra PTO into value based on RTKL standard, my salary is still way lower than other firms in market.

Pros

* Opportunities to work on international projects and for new employees to freely share their ideas. * Leadership that not only guides design but also supports employees in becoming better professionals and people. * A great LA office environment with a fitting salary. * An office team with excellent skills and knowledge, and great teams that are easy to work with.

Cons

It seems that incorporating more trend-forward designs could lead to even better results, but as a newcomer, I found it challenging to overcome the established methods and the specific direction and style clients wanted. Nonetheless, they consistently delivered solid outcomes.
