Pros

Some project managers actually care and try to help

Cons

You are nothing but a number to them and it shows with the high turnover. You have weekend plans with your family, well forget about them when the president walks around at 4pm on a Friday telling you they need overtime on the weekend. It’s a shame that happens because it wouldn’t if management actually managed the office, staff, and projects. Makes you feel worse when you are stuck working with the PM’s that they allow to belittle, curse, and yell at you. Go ahead and report it, but nothing happens. You want to see growth, it doesn’t happen. No one supports you at work or your path to licensure. You are basically on your own unless you get the one PM that cares. Even then, they are usually too busy to really help. Most good people leave once they realize how bad the office really is. And remember all that overtime you just worked, well they have some weird formula where it actually pays you less the more you work. There is also no communication which leads to a highly disorganized team with HR and other disciplines within the same office.

Pros

The work of the firm could be significant and would seem to be a sufficient lure to those seeking a challenge. The talent of the majority of the staff is second-to-none.

Cons

The firm’s management, departmental structure and workflow is entirely A-typical to the design industry. Ask a lot of questions. The vast majority of the firm will not design or develop designs. They will draft and/or simply produce documentation. The design process can be endless and obviously detrimental to the process and the staff. That same design work is done by a disproportionately small number of people. I recognized a few people that had the ability to design and lead, but those project opportunities are small. The firm largely just runs itself. Leadership is largely so disconnected from the day to day that they barely have a working understanding of the industry outside of its four walls. You will not have regular reviews or pay adjustments. You will not see daylight. The firm is outdated and an unpleasant work environment from a design standpoint.
