Pros

This company offers many opportunities for its staff to grow their skills and position. Every design firm will require the young staff completes the tedious grunt work - that’s the case anywhere - but express your interest in increased responsibility and salary and the leadership will respond accordingly.

Cons

There’s a lot of work to be done, but the firm can’t hire enough people to distribute the load. It’s getting better, but overtime hours have been required to keep up with the demand.

Thanks for leaving us a review. We really appreciate your comments about the opportunities to grow in the firm. We also recognize we have a lot of work to do (which is a good thing!) and that we have several open positions we need to fill in Chicago. We’re actively hiring new teammates in Chicago to help us better distribute workloads. And thanks for mentioning the importance of investing in younger staff. We can’t stress the importance of that enough—and we will absolutely continue to do it. Thanks again for the review. We’re so glad you’re here.

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.
