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.

working at ASD office: no new hire training whatsoever (be careful recent grads) lack of collaboration between offices core office: -far from ASD HQ (no collaboration opportunities between offices) -no new hire training whatsoever (in the business of hiring CAD monkeys not creatives) -breeds uncomfortable environment for asking questions -lack of office standardization through documentation causes gaps in efficiency -poor office culture, no happy hours (even tho they advertise they do company happy hours every week) -anti-wellness/coworker interaction (they don't have a lunch table to fit their capacity, everyone eats lunch in front of their computer) -no private meeting space -aggressive work schedules and project timelines -value engineer out riveting design concepts -no growth opportunities
