Pros

Learned a bit on Revit. They paid slightly higher than other similar companies

Cons

No opportunity for growth, Micromanaging, speaking to staff in a disrespectful way, lots of discrimination, being close-minded and still doing things the old way and not open to new things, boring office events tbh and the culture honestly sucks. I cried every day when I had to go to work. I did more engineering than I did architecture, so creativity was VERY limited. The health insurance offered is horrible and perks in general. No overtime pay but would want to overwork you. I could honestly keep going
