With being a small company, there is a lot left to be desired in terms of professionalism. The grammar/spelling on a lot of their marketing materials needs to be vetted through professional writers. There is a temdency to cross the "line" sometimes but it is very informal. The location is in a sketchy part of the Civic Center but maybe it will improve in a few years. Typical small company benefits. They are struggling to break into substantial health care work with a portfolio of mostly type B and small university work.

▪ Management tends to switch staff around project deadlines, rather than keeping consistent team members, which creates difficulty for project managers to track tasks among junior staff, and inability to hold anyone accountable due to the constant flux. ▪ The partners tend to underestimate the time required to complete tasks, especially those in new territory, and over estimate the power of BIM/Revit. ▪ Office is located in an up and coming area of SOMA, however space is tight and feels small. ▪ Some of the consultants hired are great, some are not proactive enough, some are just not responsive. Not sure why the inconsistency and it does get frustrating when you have to start doing the work for them. ▪ Bonuses are small and only once per year. A bit demotivating when you are working hard all year.
