ASD | SKY reviews

Leadership's management style is unprofessional and can be extremely negative and often inappropriate. Talented designers have to move on when they can no longer grow under the most dominant of leadership and that turnover leads to less mentorship and loss of client relationships that bring in exciting projects. There's a lack of transparency around finances including company and project health; it's not uncommon to not know your project's financial health until it's already woefully unprofitable. Not nearly enough design technology resources for a firm the size of ASD. No real HR department.

-Little to no training upon start of job -Disconnect in workflow between design team memebers (Office is leaning towards Revit but several stubborn designers refuse to leave AutoCAD in the dust) -It was difficult to get a sense of team member seniority upon starting (who is principal, associate, senior designer, intermediate, and junior? This was frustrating at first but works itself out with in the first couple of weeks)
