The worst place I have ever worked.

Pros

There are some genuine people who try very hard to make this a nice place to work. Decent benefits. Lunch time fitness classes.

Cons

High turnover is a real issue caused by lack of leadership from the principals. This has gone uncheck for far too long and has made for a hostile toxic work environment. No leadership goals are established so departments aren't able to carry out their work successfully. There is no work/life balance or flexibility when it comes to your schedule despite the nice wellness perks and alternative Friday off.

Pros

SB has found some talented professionals that are designing amazing architecture to tell a story and create experiences. A few people are trying hard to create a culture that is energetic, enjoyable, and rewarding. No dog policy in place so I brought my little one in a few days a week.

Cons

The Marketing Team at SB Architects is not a healthy environment for a skilled designer or marketer to continue and grow a career. The department goals are never mentioned or mapped out and communication and collaboration are discouraged (I was actually told to not collaborate with my teammates). There is zero understanding on how to grow and guide a team to success. Zero flexibility (unless you're an architect) so 9 hour days are difficult. Marketing department must start at 8am, however architects have more flexibility. Everyone works on PCs even Graphic Designers. Low salaries. I worked here for 6 months and had no idea what I was walking into. My mental health suffered monumentally and I did not learn anything that applies to my career. Unless you are beyond desperate for a job I do not recommend working here.

Pros

You might get to design... but probably not

Cons

people come and go here very quickly... very difficult to get to on a day to day basis... upper management will see you as a number and only a number... it's like working in a bro vacuum...
