Overall a great experience for a part 1/2 - Architectural Assistant Grimshaw-Architects Employee Review

Awesome environment, you can tell everybody loves architecture, fun office events, good kitchen space, location near Madison Park is nice, very kind people

The computers are sometimes slow for rendering

They pay 100% of benefits.

A partner in the UK office said it: the New York office is a dumpster fire. Please avoid this place. The partners are unable to get consistent work and they borderline enjoy firing people. Their idea of running a business is hiring when work comes in and firing when they lose projects prematurely on account of their own poor business practices. They will even fire a recent grad who was hired for only a month. They also fired one of their own partners. No regard for the growth of their employees. Read the review “Top Heavy and Broken”, it’s accurate. Pay attention to all the reviews posted. Absolute disgrace. They think they’re on par with other starchitects, but they don’t realize that’s not the case in the US. Grimshaw is no one’s dream job in NYC. They never figured out how to break into the US market and cling onto UK ideals that don’t apply here, even as they can see it’s not helpful for their business. Stay away.
