Pros

Expanding design firm with young and energetic staff working on challenging projects.

Cons

This is a midsize firm plagued by mismanagement and bad judgement. Cut throat developer contracts are not well negotiated but accepted to get the job. Projects are executed on the backs of the employees which are expected to work uncompensated overtime on weeknights and on weekends. Ownership is all male and one third is neither well educated nor licensed.

Toxic environment/management

Pros

They have decent benefits, office snacks, occasional lunch.

Cons

Leadership (or lack of) creates a hostile and toxic work environment. It is common for management/leadership to berate employees, if you are not on the receiving end dont worry you will hear it or hear about it. Management is openly verbal about who they like/dislike, which will affect how helpful and responsive they are to you.

Pros

Design is a major driver. Their offices are modern, well equipped and feature young designers who seem to enjoy their work.

Cons

These designers need management coaching ASAP. There is a lot a foul language and bad manners involved in the company’s culture. Studio directors are mostly incompetent and you can seldom hear their screams while having conference calls on loud speakers. People are hired and as soon as they enter the building they are fired. You could meet a new employee and two or three days later they would “disappear” for no particular reason. There is an inner circle of associates which are basically a set of brown noses, that are untouchable but new talent is typically expendable. The turnover rate is monstrous. Salaries are -on average- low. The environment can become toxic and from time to time you will feel as if playing the “Squid Game”.
