Worse company I have worked for. Workplace bullying is commonplace.

Pros

I can't actually think of any

Cons

Projects are poorly managed and resourced. A chaotic approach is the norm. I had the misfortune of working with complete psychopath bully who made my life very difficult. The senior management and HR at Sheppard Robson think that this kind of approach is acceptable in the professional environment and did nothing about it after I went to speak to them. I was then given notice after raising the issue with HR.

Pros

Having one of the major architecure offices in the UK looks always good on your CV. The company has a reputation for producing good detail planning and being efficient on project delivery. You will also get in touch with a lot of smart and interesting people from all over the world. There are some fair benefits (retirement plan, financial support for child care, bonuses).

Cons

Spectacular designs are not it's forte. There appears to be a set heirarchy in the company. The locals run the business, the immigrants do the work. There seems to be a reluctance in investing in the skills and development od employees.

Pros

I honestly can not think of any benefits of working there

Cons

Very School like behaviour, he said she said. No annual bonuses, management is very clicky, in order to progress you need to brown nose people and throw people under the bus. Very toxic work environment.
