Poor company culture

Pros

The office space is nice and there are great amenities. That’s where the pros end.

Cons

Blame culture is the company culture. Instead of working through design ideas, people step all over each other to get ahead. There’s only a handful of great people in upper management. Teams are poorly managed and those in middle management are on total power trips. When they can’t deliver what they promised, they blame the people working for them. I witnessed a senior associate VP blame the design being rejected by a client on a junior designer. JUNIOR DESIGNER! Very poor work life balance and if you want a family, this will not be a good place to be a parent. I have seen harassment of pregnant women, parents being chewed out for needing to take time to take their kids to the doctor, etc. Overall, it’s one of the worst places I’ve ever worked at.

Pros

One might have chance to work on a large scale international project. It is a good place to start a career. Newly graduates can learn a lot if they are willing to.

Cons

It is not a good place for people in their mid-career. Design and technical skills are not valued. People with high skill sets are used for production only, they are not rewarded for their hard work. They are considered as slaves to people who have close relationship with the leadership. Only people who have close personal relationship with the leadership is supported by upper management and get promotions without involving in production.
