Designer - Designer Flad Architects Employee Review

Great people that have a lot of knowledge. Great opportunities.

The location is kinda of not the most exciting place.

The company overall has a diverse portfolio for projects, good benefits and PTO. Other employees are friendly and events break the ice occasionally. Use the most out of the ARE resources available (they can be better however).

unfortunately if you’re just starting out you’lL be cornered in a single project and you don’t get the exposure you wish you can have at a firm of their size. Layoffs are unpredictable, in 2025 all the newer employees were laid off with no proper warning, seems that they just needed to get some work done and everyone laid off had no time to plan their next step. Afraid they would do the same for upcoming openings so beware and maybe request that appropriate time is given in advance if a layoff is to happen/ maybe two weeks written in your contract. Also diversity is very very very low.
