Pros
The best reasons to work there are the opportunities to work on larger projects that would otherwise have been out of your reach. The pay is pretty good and the firm usually has get togethers involving food and drinks. If you shmooze with the right people, leveling up to more responsibilties is pretty easy. Most of administration is really nice and you usualy find yourself talking to them rather than working because its more interesting. The facilities are pretty modern, they just upgraded their office (10/07) to a new building and got a lot of new equipment. The facility is also located in a pretty respectable area.
Cons
Some of the downsides are longer hours, I was usually working 9am-7:30/8:00pm hour days. There would be people there longer than that, but I think they were just trying to get boring stuff done. Although much of the design is exciting, it is still very corporate. At some smaller more popular firms, you get a chance to do something revolutionary, while here it may be your first time doing a shopping mall, or a hospital, but they still follow the rules and do everything by the book in regards to the design process. Some employees are also difficult to deal with.
