Pros

Exciting and high profile projects, of all scales and types. Working with the best clients and architects with a real desire for innovation and "making a difference". Managements asks for and listens to feedback, then responds - very refreshing. An app has been introduced for feedback and discussion. Flexibility, in promoting career path, work/life balance and developing specialisms. Very good training and mentoring of junior staff. Pay and rewards are good by market standards. Inclusivity is actively promoted.

Cons

The same challenges as faced by any professional services firm in an uncertain world. Work can be demanding. However, rewards and job satisfaction provide balance.

Hello Thank you for your positive comments. We do recognise that in order to be a successful business, we need to continually improve and our senior management team do welcome feedback. The purpose of our new app was to encourage all employees to have their say and we've seen some great discussions and interactions across the practice. We do understand that at times, when project deadlines approach, our people can work overtime and we greatly appreciate your hard-work and commitment when work can be demanding, In order to try and overcome this we have recently introduced a new system to improve the planning and management of our projects, which we hope will reduce working overtime. We hope you have a fulfilling career and continue to enjoy working with us! The BuroHappold Team

Flexible work environment was great. They're pretty good on diversity.

Cons

Stressful work for sure, but I've heard it varies depending on your location. They do random layoffs.
