      Business Outlook

      Pros

      some good people that the firm really doesn't deserve to have.

      Cons

      If you have a strong, unique voice that threatens the white patriarchy, you'll be strategically pushed out before you realize they're doing it. If you happen to sit in the same quadrant as the ceo, prepare to wear your winter jacket thruout the entire summer - ceo likes it freezing because he wears a full suit to work every day, and the thermostat's set to his individual preference. That alone tells you more than you need to know about the guy. Gaslighting and favoritism everywhere. Developed severe depression, anxiety and rage issues while at this office, so glad that's in the past.

      Run far away

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Healthcare, some solid project architects who are severely underappreciated

      Cons

      -Highly toxic environment that enables misogyny, racism, bullying, gaslighting, and sycophantic behaviour. -If you're good at doing actual work you'll be fully taken advantage of, expected to overwork for free then conveniently forgotten about when they do flashy tours and photos. -If you're good at talking about yourself you'll go places. -No room for different opinions, if you speak up against things they'll find a way to retaliate always. -They like people who are insecure but cover it up by talking a lot, complacent, and have no mind of their own. -They're very good at selling themselves as an inclusive, open, innovative company, but don't fall for it

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you like politics, then this is definitely the place for you. If you want to do real architecture, then run as far away, especially from the London office, which was really a glorified kindergarten. The New York office is just as bad, with incompetent leaders heading the interior design studio.

      Cons

      So many, I do not know where to begin. Leadership in Seattle choked on the corporate kool-aid, and it trickles down to all the other offices. It is more important here to know the Revit software, than to actually design.
