Pros
The new Atlanta office is fantastic! High ceilings, extensive natural light and a culture and firm community that should be viewed as an example firm-wide.
Cons
The firm acquired Stanley Beaman & Sears last year and, three plus years prior, EYP acquired WHR Architects. After the acquisition of SBS it was readily apparent that EYP and WHR were not integrated and were still acting as completely separate and distinct companies. This was and still remains a problem. The integration of SBS has not gone smoothly and it remains to be seen how this will all pan out. In addition, there has been a major upheaval in the c-suite. The CFO mysteriously and hastily left and the COO was demoted. A new CFO and COO have recently been hired which certainly brings hope to the staff and the organization. The firm is experiencing financial problems; therefore, our hope is that the new leadership will help right the ship.
