Pros

It might be suitable for people without any technical knowledge, as the management team appears to have secured their positions through relationships rather than technical expertise.

Cons

I have had an extremely unprofessional experience with the management at Interface in San Francisco. The managers lack professionalism and instead of encouraging and supporting their employees, they often talk negatively about them behind their backs. This creates a toxic work environment, and it’s disheartening to see managers speaking poorly of former employees rather than appreciating their contributions and recommending them. This behavior reflects poorly on the company’s culture and management style. For anyone considering a position here, be careful—it is a toxic company with a toxic group in both the Oakland and San Francisco offices.

Pros

- Highly focused on employee professional development and kwowldedge attainment. A learning organization. - Exceptional, collaborative culture - especially now as a 100% employee- owned ESOP firm. - Industry leader in technical and process accumen in the building design and consulting space. - World class culture with a respectful, safe, professional, working environment. - Stable and thriving organization that sustains and enhances culture while growing in a mindful manner.

Cons

- Not really a con, but we are so successful that we have the highest project backlog in our company's 50+ year history; the challenge is to manage growth to maintain our very special culture during expansion.

Pros

Decent company benefits, hybrid work schedule.

Cons

Poor HR that took over 4mo to provide some benefits, and over 6mo for others due to no formal onboarding. Electrical technical leads have no experience in the modern programs, making decisions based on 20+ yr old tech. Poor word choice in emails is a common issue amongst electrical leadership. Many PMs are more focused on looking busy by pushing emails rather than doing work or training, could easily be replaced with non-technical personnel and be more efficient while letting PEs lead more projects. Too many non-integrated systems and no privileges means doing things the dumb way. Everyone is an “associate” so it means nothing.
