Pros
Great balance between work and life Decent compensation Opportunities are given to those who voice their desires. Many intelligent, talented and motivated management/ partners willing to guide and teach. Motivated management gets younger staff involved at all stages of the architectural process. Moving towards an integrated design and analysis approach to the architectural process.
Cons
Decent design, but the project base lacks the excitement sought by the higher end employee. Too many stagnant employees not really wanting to take the firm to the next level. Not a lot of design culture or discussion between projects. Office space design lacks stimulation for collaborative design Some talented professionals are in the wrong positions and not given the opportunity to guide/ teach the younger generation of GS&P leaders.
