Bad Company Culture - No Room to Grow - Associate OKW Architects Employee Review

OKW does a lot -- from master planning to architectural design and interiors. Although groups have some specialization, everyone over time will work on a variety of projects, including hospitality, retail, multifamily, senior living, corporate office, and country club. The people are down to earth, fun, and have a knack for getting to know each other. Office culture is engaging or laid-back, depending on what you want out of the office. Leadership is engaged and takes professional development and mentorship to heart.

The pandemic has made social gatherings challenging, which isn't limited to just this company.

•Friendly coworkers •Interesting/ diverse projects •Will learn a lot as a young professional

•Work/life balance is lacking •Poor overtime compensation •Too much work and not enough help •Management is quick to let people go with little, to no notice
