Pros

Consistent paycheck Principals are retiring and new generation is taking over

Cons

• Typical ruthless corporate mentality • The HQ is only looking out for monthly office revenue and never pays attention to the culture • Extremely cheap company that doesn’t provide necessary office supply, cleaning and sponsored events • Extreme push on employees to take over more responsibilities every day and minimal 3% annual raise • Many staffs are quitting Denver office and you can easily track that online • Dirty small dark office environment with obvious signs of sick building syndrome and leaking ceiling with a promise of the better is coming • Very little design and mostly production work of renovation and addition to an existing building So when the other reviewer says that Denver office is nothing but heaven, all I can say is, go get hired in a day and see it yourself and then come back here and make your honest opinion. It worth nothing to argue.

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience. Our Denver office has gone through significant changes over the last 18 months, largely driven by merging three distinct firm cultures into one. We’ve learned a lot through the process and are actively making changes to ensure we better support our employees and create a dynamic work environment. You identified some of these leadership changes in your Pros. We recently hired a new leader for the Denver office who’s number one priority is addressing cultural challenges. While change does not happen overnight, the feedback from staff has been positive that things are heading in the right direction. We’re also gearing up to move into a new space in the RiNo Art District in early 2020 which will help unify the staff even more. All to say, we’ve taken comments like yours to heart and are making significant changes to strengthen our Denver office. Thanks for leaving us a review. We wish you well in your new career.

Pros

Lots of corporate perks, ARE, remote work

Cons

Figure this out early. They are looking for strong corporate citizenship and follower of corporate culture. So, if you say the wrong thing around the water cooler, you will be seeing the HR soon. Be a zombie, get it right the first time and you will keep your job.
