RSP Architects Reviews

Designers are not well paid. Despite an attempt to rebrand as a design firm, Lower level employees are not shown they are valued. There is an old guard of principals (of which there are too many) who resist change. Many upper level principals are misogynistic. Very little racial diversity, very little diversity of any kind in management.

Management didn't have clear communication, lacked leadership and was always in meetings. Even though I met really great and talented people in other departments, this was one of the WORST internship experience. I was left in silos doing work that wasn't meaningful (for example always sourcing stuff on Amazon and clean up templates or made them look "pretty") and that's when my internship experience started to sour pretty quickly. A lot of my skills weren't able to shine interning there because I was doing menial work. I felt that management was really protective of their work and didn't allow me to really explore different types of work. This place lacks diversity and I didn't feel like I belonged. No one should feel that way in an organization and if you do, leave. The meaningful lesson I've learned from this experience was recognizing poor leadership and poor organization culture. Thanks RSP!
