Not bad on the surface - quite the opposite in reality (QLD)
Pros
- Access to some high tier projects - Design prestige - Good workplace events - Experienced architects may thrive here
Cons
- There is a large issue with upper management that seems to have little no sign of changing in the near future. highly toxic environment, - Witnessed people cry at there desk from exhaustion at time multiple weeks of overtime - 65 + hours or more. - Little acknowledgement of qualities from people who are not directly working in design teams. - There is an element of bullying that is largely unchecked due to not having a HR aspect to the buisness at all. - TOIL is rarely approved. - Gaslighting certain employees has harmed the progress of some staff in there career (freinds who have left since have realised this). - Pay disparity between similiarly experienced staff is an issue. there is large resentment due to this. - Salary reviews are largely a negative experience. Forms part of the gaslighting scenario. Unfortunately this leaves most people questioning there ability unnecessarily.
