A waning legacy

Pros

The few people that remain working on a small handful of projects are good and talented people.

Cons

The firm is shrinking at a time when all other firms are growing. Management is weak, financial performance is poor. Unable to win new projects. Reputation is falling.

Pros

Nobody really reviews your work. This means you often have much freedom and can get away with murder if you are lazy. Although it's not a dynamic fun place to work, it is pretty relaxed with nobody really getting in your business. Relative to other firms the pay is OK. Management is cool about working a flexible schedule.

Cons

It's on the second generation of leadership who were all grown during the first generation when the firm was floated by its rich founder. Now the second generation is trying to manage on their own and don't know how to get work. The firm is now incredibly top heavy and the new leaders seem mostly considered with sorting out the legal issues of ownership and less concerned with rebuilding what could be a nice company. Many of the firms top leaders have very passive aggressive backroom methods of leadership. Their is zero marketing vision and even less mentoring going on.

Pros

Good hardworking staff History of excellent design work Leader in taking on middle market design projects in sectors like healthcare and justice

Cons

Business development by same old directors no longer resulting in viable work. Lack of strong succession plan for future leadership means firm is rudderless. During recession staff received pay cuts - no salaries increases in over 4 years.
