Mostly an engineering company, architecture department is small in comparison.

Pros

Office location is good. Project types are diverse. Company is international which can bring in interesting work and opportunities to travel abroad.

Cons

Management / Leadership is poor and not very effective, tends to be distant and does not set a good ethical example. Not a collaborative studio culture, poor employee morale. Good work is not recognized or rewarded. Unable (or unwilling) to retain talented architects. Does not spend sufficient funds for good office equipment or even basic supplies.

Good Company, Not Good Pay

Business Outlook

Pros

- The people are great here, and there is a good mix of old and young. - Potential to gain a lot of experience. - A well respected company in the Chicago market. - A good size company with a small company feel. - 100% ESOP with 100% vesting after 6 years. - They hire recent graduates, which is pretty hard to come by. - The hours are great (M-Th 8.75hrs & Fr 5hrs) and they are very flexible.

Cons

- The company is very top heavy....the executives, VP's, HR people, and people that have been there long enough to be in "The Club" make a lot of money where everyone else, especially the production people (engineers, architects) are very underpaid. - The company penny pinches a lot. - The 8th floor (where all the engineers are) looks like it hasn't been updated in 50 years. - The benefits are not very good...Health insurance is expensive and the 401k match is not very good. - Can have the feel of being political. - There really is no responsibility differentiation between several positions, i.e. a Design Engineer and a Senior Design Engineer do the same thing.

Abusive Overtime

Pros

A lot of potential, but it all falls short in reality.

Cons

Overtime in excess of 150% after stating minimal overtime in the interview, no recognition for all the hard work, and when it is over, they start letting people go. I got out before they could come for me.
