Thank you for your feedback and for offering your insight. We value your perspective and appreciate the time you've taken to share your views. CRTKL Dubai has an amazing and vibrant culture of collaboration and teamwork. The projects are exciting and a big part of what makes this office so successful. As a company, we try very hard to minimize the corporate structure of a global firm, focusing instead on the local flavor that each one of our geographies brings and offers. This is an essential part of what gives meaning to our people and makes each office unique and special. We wish you luck in your career and hope our paths cross again in the future.

Pros

* Opportunities to work on international projects and for new employees to freely share their ideas. * Leadership that not only guides design but also supports employees in becoming better professionals and people. * A great LA office environment with a fitting salary. * An office team with excellent skills and knowledge, and great teams that are easy to work with.

Cons

It seems that incorporating more trend-forward designs could lead to even better results, but as a newcomer, I found it challenging to overcome the established methods and the specific direction and style clients wanted. Nonetheless, they consistently delivered solid outcomes.
