Pros
I started at IA NY on the Retail team for 2 years before moving to the Seattle office. My time here in the Seattle office was brief but I have to say that it felt like a long time, in the best possible way. No matter which office I was part of, or working with, each and every one of you have openly engaged in welcoming me with open arms. I was blessed with the experience to work with top mentors and leaders of our industry from Retail to Workplace who have taken a once abstract concept of “One IA” and made it evidently apparent that it’s not just words, but a true alma mater of the company (Imagine if we had an Alma Mater song: “One IA, yay, yay…♪♬♪ ”). Being able to work with 3-4 offices in under 3 years is what made the vision real for me and I applaud the number of intra-office collaborations. Without that level of exposure, my experience on the Architectural service side could never have been as rich as it was. Therefore, thank you. Thank you so much for all the lessons learned, for all the times I’ve asked a question out-loud to receive a response from Management instantly despite how busy they were, and for all the after-work events that ultimately brought us all together and made IA feel like a second home.
Cons
I don't have much negative things to report. My experience at IA was blissful and I would highly recommend others working with them.
