CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Great mentorship, enthusiastic CEO, learned a lot, lots of face time with clients and on-site experience. Really good experience for a young architect.

Cons

Really tight on salary, definitely some late nights, but honestly much better than comparable firms.

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Knowledgeable CEO. When good feedback was provided (which didn't happen very often), it was constructive and inspiring.

Cons

Extremely hostile environment. Public humiliation, unrealistic deadlines, misogynistic behavior, and cult-like culture. Cheap salary and unhealthy work-life balance.

Business outlook

Pros

junior level staff get project management experience small firm allows wide breadth of experience immediately, allows mentorship employees are generally friendly and pleasant a short stint might be beneficial to junior designers to gain experience, but not totally worth the work environment

Cons

violent mood swings of ceo praise not offered as readily as criticism, bashing, lecturing, ranting ceo and leaders expect overtime without pay work is piled onto junior staff, emotional tolls of unfair treatment to junior staff leaders not considerate of others’ time, late to own meetings, will distribute “urgent” work 10 minutes before eod ceo and leaders use manipulation and dishonesty to get work done or to get terms agreed by staff cheap ceo, always trying to cut $ corners
