Pros

-Good for building connections in Seattle's relatively small architecture community. -Lots of opportunities for large scale, corporate projects, if that's what you're into.

Cons

-Horribly misogynistic and racist atmosphere, to the point that we had to have multiple internal interventions. Not that those were productive, as the leadership was quick to turn it around and cast blame on anyone feeling victimized. Women trained as architects were told that they should focus on interiors because "women are better at picking fabric than men". Women were asked in interviews if they planned on having children soon, which is illegal. Women were discouraged from being staffed on large scale exterior projects and treated as inferiors to their male counterparts. -Leadership chose favorites which generally had nothing to do with talent or effort and everything to do with their willingness to suck up and build said leaders' egos. -High turnover, mainly due to the reasons listed above. Your portfolio won't thank you much and you'll most likely leave feeling burnt out and uninspired.
