Pros

Overall the people I work with day-to-day are kind and want the best for everyone, but the poor firm management makes everything harder than it needs to be. The Minneapolis office is an okay place to work if you don’t have other options and find yourself in one of the better studios. Target and NDT appear to have more positive cultures than the firm as a whole; consider avoiding the corporate studio if you’re a woman.

Cons

The CEO and Board are obstinate and seemingly uninterested in truly advancing design, sustainability, equity, or innovation in the firm. Team members and their leaders are often micromanaged and unsupported. Consequences and accountability are avoided like the plague. HR does little more than manage basic benefits and fails to provide staff support or paths for professional development, even when safety concerns are reported.

Pros

There are a lot of great people who genuinely care about the work they do.

Cons

Designers are not well paid. Despite an attempt to rebrand as a design firm, Lower level employees are not shown they are valued. There is an old guard of principals (of which there are too many) who resist change. Many upper level principals are misogynistic. Very little racial diversity, very little diversity of any kind in management.
