Pros

- interesting, diverse projects - better work life balance than most architectural offices - talented and wholesome people, though many have left...

Cons

- upper management husband/wife team creates tension and discomfort - little transparency and a lot of micromanagement (my specific scenario) - your supervisor decides your fate in the office

Pros

Remote/Hybrid work flexibility. Work life balance is not too bad due to lack of projects.

Cons

There are no young designers, and the higher-ups are older with outdated design tastes. They seem comfortable sticking to their old ways, which no longer work. HR is practically nonexistent—people are leaving or being laid off, yet the HR representative always acts as if nothing is happening. It feels very unsettling to work here. While I enjoy the remote work experience, I can understand why young designers wouldn't want to join this company.
