      DLR Group

      Architect
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great benefits. 100% use of Revit. Opportunities to work on a broad range of project types - until you get siloed into a particular project sector. Larger office locations offer free snacks & beverages. Not all offices have the culture or vibe.

      Cons

      The firm shows excessive favoritism to certain individuals while overlooking the everyday hard work and potential of the “B Team” - which is actually the backbone of the firm. Also lacks training for interns in how to properly detail a set of Construction Documents.

      Disappointing Architecture Firm

      Designer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Working from Home Each office is different. I worked in Texas and enjoyed my coworkers and had a great experience.

      Cons

      I was one of the 300+ employees who was completely blindsided and laid off in April. It was such a traumatic experience and was never explained why "I" was chosen. I had a lot of deliverables due and so disappointed by the approach and handling of Regional Managers. Glad to know the Principals got only a 10% pay cut, while I lost my job. Being let go in a ZOOM ROOM with others was so impersonal and depressing. The design is NOWHERE on par with competing firms (HOK, HKS, Perkins + Will, Gensler....etc) - I was often embarrassed to look at the design portfolio. This firm does a lot of acquisitions and there is a very clear divide between what is DLR Group versus what the other firms Often felt like I was a slave worker

      Company lacks integrity and character

      Operations
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent pay, decent work/life balance, decent rep in the industry, good tech, and many good people, but...

      Cons

      ...several of those in key leadership positions lack integrity and character. I would list more cons but frankly, what more is there to say?
