Pros
Close to a boutique firm, HEWITT really gets all the interesting multifamily projects. It has its own design philosophy and vision that suit to the city of Seattle's. The office is located right at the center of Downtown/Pike Place Market, close to Westlake Station for Light Rail/ many bus stops nearby as it is a block away from the renown Pike Place Market. It has a diverse array of food options, etc. People are great! No so-called Seattle Freeze. No drama, no hatred; the team and the principals always are out there to be a great resource for your learning and exercising design skills. Most employees are well educated and/or have licensure. Diverse educations and backgrounds as well.
Cons
Not so much. The group's vision is not to expand too quickly but it is one of the top-notch in the design market, so the slow growth in headcounts is kind of expected.
