Pros

Large firm with broad project experience and focused markets. Multiple locations around the country that provides access to the firm.

Cons

The larger offices tend to dominate the internal politics of the firm leaving the smaller satellite offices getting less of a vote.

Pros

- Great culture, good people, integrated design, music in the office, friendly environment - Flexible work schedule, frequent happy hours, employee-owned firm, good benefits

Cons

- Very top heavy firm and below average salaries that may... reach industry's standards after bonuses and profit-sharing. - Lack of project management, QA/QC and organizational structure. Employees are forced to work a lot of overtime hours in order to meet tight deadlines and tiny fees. - Employees are being promoted based on their superficial popularity within the firm and not their actual contributions or valuable skill-set they bring in. Therefore, having a title in this firm doesn't mean anything. - Even though the top management has an open-door policy to the firm's financials and overall group's performance, it maintains a very distant approach when it comes to employee's development and individual performance. - Over the last couple years, the firm hired a lot of BD people with big and short-term dreams who gradually offset the value of the good and well-respected employees. - The constant stress from the leadership about the firm's growth and future potential drives employees who want to have just a stable job out of their safe/comfort zone.
