Pros

Nice people there, have a balance of work and life.

Cons

It's hard to get profit projects and the firm is too conservative. There is not enough projects to fulfill young architects' skills and seniority values more than design ability.

Business Outlook

Pros

Design culture is strong and leveraging knowledge and resource sharing across its many offices is encouraged. Not afraid to try things and fail. Good backlog and diversity of work and sectors. A lot of transparency on business planning and financials. New commitment and investment in research and data that has real investment on air quality and building impacts. Teams encouraged to celebrate milestones. Access to leadership is available and encouraged.

Cons

Outward commitment to sustainability versus practice is a mixed bag and relies more heavily on individuals on the ground making their own path than leadership making plans. Design and architecture talent receives growth opportunities and recognition than engineering and high performance (energy) teams. Different sectors do not communicate deadlines well so teams (like engineering) that work in multiple areas constantly get crunched. Engineering has lost a lot of leadership and experience lately.
