Pros

Pros are few but there are some nice and intelligent people you will meet, either in your present studio or at another location. You will find some coworkers care about their work and the well-being of each other. And there is an encouragement of innovation and out-of-the-box thinking. The problem is that a select few actually are allowed to design or have their views considered. The remaining are relegated to production work, menial tasks, and in some cases, they are informed by management that they don't have any skills.

Cons

Unfortunately the firm, from the very top to those in the “core team” continue to conduct business as usual. There’s too much that is flawed in the overall industry landscape to claim it’s unique at this firm only. And you can find some common themes in other negative reviews. What would be unique is there doesn’t seem to be much training for those that are in leadership roles. If there is, something isn’t working.

Pros

The culture at NBBJ is great, and they give people a lot of autonomy at freedom. I felt like I had a lot of control over my time, and people valued my work

Cons

Sometimes you can get a little lost in a big firm, and decisions get made slowly.
