      Dishonesty, Poor Design, and Drama. But the Lunches are Free.

      Pros

      The sodas are cold and the lunches are free.

      Cons

      The 'Management Committee' is a joke. The Design Studio consists of two guys working on the projects they want and everyone else is twiddling their thumbs. The new interns have nothing to do. HR puppets the talking points of the Principals. No real culture to speak of. The most bland company ever. No wonder 1/4 of the company have left in the last year. Location in Dallas is the worst..unless youre a Principal.

      Draftsman or Designer?

      Entry level designer

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Competitive pay, incredible location, great people. This job gave me a solid foundation into the construction world of DFW. GFF has outstanding clients with deep pockets that really want to innovate. There are many exciting opportunities that come through the door. My favorite aspect about GFF was how the designers experience projects from early conception, all the way through late-stage construction. It was particularly helpful when testing for licensure.

      Cons

      Very "corporate" which is odd for a design firm. Design, by nature, should be organic and fluid. Think: sketching and creativity. GFF feels rigid and sterile, by comparison. All design meetings I ever attended were cold conference rooms and blank notepads. There is a hand-selected "A-Team" of designers. If you aren't handpicked for the squad, you'll be a draftsman. Outside of the elite design team, ideas are considered inconsequential. I could understand if the elite designers were performing as such. Unfortunately, the elite designers were not particularly more gifted than anyone else and designs suffered. It really is just a popularity contest.
