Pros

Good Support Staff Hybrid Working

Cons

No structure, organised chaos from top to bottom. Partners are very disconnected from staff and care very little about needs and queries, lack of recognition and support from them. Very misogynistic attitudes amongst the practice. Bullying is also very commonplace from management level. Low paying salaries and very frugal when it comes to payrises and progression within the business. Incompetent PM's with poor time management, who often throw other staff members under the bus in order to save themselves. High staff turnover and low morale amongst staff. Poor Work/Life Balance. Besides annual leave there is next to nothing regarding employee benefits, other Architecture Practices compensate their employees far greater than what Gillespies does currently.
