Pros

diverse project types & i gained a wide range of experience. 'groups' at EC like Women@EC, Emerging Professionals Group. Thrive Sustainability Group, etc. Access to 3D printers & VR (although they arent used regularly for projects yet). People are willing to mentor others and grow your career. WFH 2 days a week. Laptop & equipment provided for WFH.

Cons

Got rid of Adobe softwares for Affinity to save money in the pandemic and never went back. Not the best at internal promotions & raises. I had multiple negotiations during my time at EC where I really had to advocate for myself and not accept their first number and talked to others about their salaries for comparison. Once salaried, you do NOT get paid for overtime, yet it is expected regularly for deadlines.

Pros

good place to start your career but all dependent to what studio you're placed in because once you're in it, you're stuck. exposure to very talented architects and engineers. new office redesign is a major improvement.

Cons

worried about new leadership and seems like the company may be going backwards. stagnant design culture, seems like not enough work is being won and layoffs feel like they are always around the corner. lower tier of salary in the area and raises are consistently minimum, even for those who work hard. multiple personalities in high positions that create unprofessional and uncomfortable work environments.
