Pros

DCS has a long-standing presence in the DC market. The result is opportunities to work on great sites around the DMV. The founding partners are actively involved after 55+ years. This leads to a family-like atmosphere.

Cons

The ability to make changes or influence firm policies can be limited. The downside of the family-style approach is that staff members can become entrenched in their roles. The perception of being a local firm also limits the opportunities on larger, more ambitious design projects.

Pros

DCS allows for growth in many directions. You can really soar at DCS if you are willing to look at yourself, determine your strengths and ask for management's help in placing you in a position that utilizes those strengths.

Cons

DCS is relatively small, so it is sometimes run like a family business. This can be frustrating to those who need more corporate structure, but that also helps the people who are willing to ask for help.
