Pros

talented coworkers who genuinely care about design and the company throws some best annual parties

Cons

The company appears more focused on appearances than on supporting its employees. Shortly after moving into an expensive new office, approximately 20 employees were laid off within a matter of months. The timing raised serious concerns among staff about priorities and long-term stability. The firm’s leadership also lacks meaningful diversity, which becomes increasingly noticeable as decisions are made at the top. Many employees hoped new leadership would bring fresh ideas and a stronger commitment to people, but instead the first major impression was a round of layoffs that negatively impacted morale across the company. What made the situation even more troubling was that some of those affected were highly experienced employees who had dedicated more than a decade of their careers to the firm. Several were senior staff members whose knowledge, mentorship, and long-term commitment had helped shape the company. Seeing respected colleagues with years of institutional knowledge let go sent a clear message that loyalty and experience offered little job security. Communication around these decisions was limited, leaving employees feeling uncertain and undervalued. Trust in leadership suffered significantly as a result. The atmosphere shifted from one of collaboration and optimism to one of anxiety and uncertainty, with many employees questioning the firm’s direction and long-term stability.

Pros

Design work, commitment to clients, intent to design for good - making a long term positive impact by designing to intentionally build community, with a focus on sustainability. Good work life balance with most leadership members caring and knowing how to achieve strong performance by recognizing and respecting the needs of their teams.

Cons

Challenges due to a prolonged industry economic downturn means the company cannot offer the pay and internal programming/culture they would like to. Some in leadership seem not to understand the need to offer employees recognition and trust.
