Take a job here only if you have a low self esteem
Pros
People that work here a generally nice, sharing the same pain of working for a miserable company. Great location in the city.
Cons
A company that does not put people first. In fact, they put everything else first, but the people. They hire as easily and carelessly as they fire people. And that happens really often. During the time that I've worked there almost everybody quit or was fired. When they fire somebody, they take the time to proudly explain to everybody that this is the way to stay in business. The president of the company is the typical egocentric architect who believes he has all the right in the world to look down on everybody who works for him. The “ I am the boss, you do as I say” attitude is low it itself. And in fact many would be able to put up with it better if he were actually great at what he does. Do your homework when you negotiate a salary and don’t expect them to keep their promise after they hired you. They will try to pay you as low as they can and even change your salary afterwards. After leaving this company I realized how many other great firms are out there that DO care about your evolution as an architect/designer, DO care about teaching and investing in you and that DO put people first. Try to find that firm. It’s out there.
