      Pros

      Nice projects to their portfolio and office.

      Cons

      The treatment of Project Coordinators. Many of us have experienced inconsistent support, lack of recognition for our contributions, and what appears to be favoritism. It’s disheartening to feel that professional growth and job security may depend more on navigating office politics than on performance or work ethic. Additionally, while I understand the intention behind DEI and workplace training initiatives, I believe these programs would be more effective if they acknowledged and celebrated individual contributions and professionalism, rather than identity . Recognition should be based on merit, integrity, and the value each team member brings to the organization. Leadership needs consider steps to create a more respectful, and performance-focused workplace for all employees.

      Pros

      Good work-life balance and flexible scheduling. Supportive team environment with opportunities to learn new technologies. Management is generally approachable and benefits are competitive.

      Cons

      Internal processes can be slow and bureaucratic at times. Career advancement opportunities are limited without clear timelines. Communication between departments could be improved significantly.

      Pros

      Nice office, lots of “rah rah Gensler” events with food & booze, some nice people

      Cons

      Where do I start…..some studios are TOXIC. Favoritism permeates every aspect of working here. It’s nauseating. There is zero loyalty, zero recognition for hard work (yeah you get a bonus but sometimes a kind word is needed). Oh-and never ever express an opinion that may be in opposition to “leadership’s”. Your private life, beliefs, politics and other personal things are fair game for letting you go. I’ve seen it happen-fired because someone expresses in a private conversation that one has ethical concerns regarding projects that are in the office (but in another studio/office) will get you fired. They will make up some bs about “work performance”, yet no conversation ever with anyone about “needing improvement “. Out of left field. Bye bye. Management tells leadership that they’d already “warned” the person-completely untrue. Hear later it was likely due to having concerns about a client/project. Lesson learned-shut up, work 12 hrs a day and be happy with the scraps you’re thrown. Also-egos galore! Unwillingness to take accountability for mistakes.
