Pros

open space, transparent design process, freedom to create any research group, have chance to talk with expertise all over the world. could enjoy foreign traveling.

Cons

Architecture design business is generally not a promising business. the pure architecture design firm is suffering low income. comparing to design-developer, pure design firm like NBBJ is not a great choice for middle class.

Pros

- fiscally responsible - competitive salaries and good benefits package - good working environment (if you like open offices) - nice location - good internal support mechanisms (with regard to HR) - great place for aspiring designers/architects/PM's to learn - tremendous opportunity for systems thinking - truly interdisciplinary - engaged in sustainability, community efforts and non-profit work = drives positive impact - architectural work is robust and quite lovely

Cons

- slightly staid in their management approach - don't toot their own horn nearly enough - marketing is next to none - not tied in well enough to related disciplines such as experience design, service design, UX - lack flexibility and speed to market with new tools and methods - "meeting culture" takes up too much time and is often ineffective - organization is often too democratic and pseudo flat - difficult in the case of new incentives due to lack of discipline and focus - lack of introspection and realistic comparison to the competition - seller/doer model not very effective
