      Pros

      Great location. A lot of good people pass through here but most of them don't last long. Casual small firm atmosphere. Although things often lean toward the unprofessional side. This is a fast pace high turnover sink or swim kind of place. It isn't for everyone. The potential is there. Unfortunately the growing pains of a small firm with newly found success is still very visible.

      Cons

      Don't be fooled by the advertised career advancement potential or the big happy family act. The turnover in this office is unreal for a reason. Consider yourself warned. Most of the managers in place are not there by merit but simply longevity. Choose your allies carefully. Do not trust the cheery online reviews. Management wrote or had admin write those with the promise of free lunch. This is an executive interior architecture firm. Don't expect to design anything. This is not a learning environment. Mentoring is confused here with being condescending and derogatory. Be prepared to be heavily micromanaged and put down. Most of the people in this office did not go to an accredited architecture school and have no intention of ever getting licensed. Also if you are plan on reporting training hours, your first 6 months will not be signed off on. Company policy. Unless you're doing Starbucks CDs you will be wasting your time drafting in Powercadd (awful but cheap program no one in the industry uses)

      Pros

      Working on Revit. Casual friday's. Close to museums-nice location.

      Cons

      If you know Revit, you will most likely be working in the Starbucks team which is run by a small group of young, inexperienced and immature Latino project managers who all graduated from Woodbury University. They are very clan-ish, a little too much about the "raza" and they will make sure that newcomers feel unwelcomed, even if those were not the directives from Niccolo Valerio. They give you a very small rope, and at the first sign of trouble, they are ready to smear you and throw you under the bus. This firm loses an average of one employee per month. This is why they are constantly posting job opportunities. Because of the project manager's bad management and bad attitude, you will be working 12 to 14 hour days on average while on salary.

      Thank you for providing feedback on your experience at Valerio Architects! Additional support is always available if a team member feels they are unable to accomplish their tasks within a reasonable 8-hour day. We have families and outside interests. Our firm strongly supports maintaining a work-life balance. We also support a team which is respectful and where leadership and resources are readily available. We appreciate your review but are confident our firm does not reflect the conditions identified in your review.
