Pros

Flexibility in schedule. Getting to work alongside very bright people. Innovation, within bounds, is encouraged (though keep in mind this is still the construction industry, so degree of "innovativeness" is relative). Self starters are generally well regarded. There are a large number of training and continuing education opportunities. Note that individual experiences can vary, and quite dramatically, depending on group/office/supervisors.

Cons

Promotions and compensation are reviewed on a strict annual schedule, and the factors behind the decision are not always discussed openly.

Pros

Fancy projects Good training ground for grads Comprehensive documentary database and publications in their knowledge centre

Cons

Merely talks about visions, values... design capability within few capable hands only No organization chart for my team, and my former boss was proud of not having one! Become more commercially-conscious in recent years False hope of promotion: relationship rather than competence dictates As a result, competence not usually found in Director / Associate Director level Loyalty not valued or commensurate with salary package
