Pros

-K-12 projects are challenging yet rewarding. Design quality is above average. -Compensation is competitive compared to similar A/E firms. -Rapid growth of the firm has allowed for greater mobility and opportunities for younger designers to branch out.

Cons

-Rapid growth has also led to growing pains. Technology staff is spread thinner, and the infrastructure hasn't kept up. -Benefits are below average (stock options available but no 401k match. Health benefits are limited and adding dependents are very expensive $$$) -Office culture (Overland Park). I can't speak for other regions, so this may be more of a Kansas thing than DLR Group, but there have been multiple instances of inappropriate comments towards women. There have also been similar instances related to race, mainly by older staff.

Culture Shift

Pros

Benefits are ok, and a lot of people that are really talented. Cool projects.

Cons

Culture has shifted for the worse. A lot of decisions made at the top without explanation, but they push employee ownership and that everyone has a voice without actually listening. Return to office 4 days a week and no paid parking. Pay is low.
