BEWARE Designers and Architects - Anonymous employee Think Architecture Employee Review

Dear Anonymous Employee, I am so sorry that you felt like you had such a negative experience. I think it is appropriate to take this opportunity to respond to your accusations as this was quite concerning to read what you posted here, but to have never heard one concern, request, suggestion, or complaint on your issues and accusations made during the short period you say you worked here. The proper thing to do would have been to first approach your Manager, and if uncomfortable there, go to the Office Manager, or to one of the Shareholders. Our doors are always open. If you had been more forthright and willing to stand behind your concerns much earlier rather than letting them fester and do nothing about them, we could have looked at remedies where needed. Our culture has always been one of open doors, employee respect, progressive compensation and benefits package, and advancement to employees that have earned it. In addition, our turnover is way below industry standards, and I only had to lay off one person in 7 years for poor performance so I am not sure where you get your information. We do have to set work hours as our clients do require we be available during typical business hours. If you had concern over this, I wish you would have brought it up during the interview and Job Acceptance process as those discussions and documents are clear regarding our expectations for offering employment. Many of your other concerns I will not address because they have no relevance to an employer and employee relationship based on sex, religion, or race. I will say that Think Architecture is 100% committed as an equal opportunity employer and again these kinds of issues should have been brought up by you if they truly existed. If you would like to continue this discussion and really be taken seriously, I openly invite you to contact us directly. You had so many opportunities to have a voice, be heard, or affect change where needed, but you chose to voice your displeasure behind an anonymous name on the internet. In closing, we here at Think Architecture wish you the best in your future endeavors wherever they may take you. Sincerely, Corey R. Solum, AIA CEO, President
