Pros

They create some amazing venues around the world.

Cons

Since they build entertainment and sports venues, they were affected by the pandemic. Budget cuts, a hiring freeze, and two rounds of layoffs. Employees are overworked. Certain positions are completely overlooked. They just want to bring in young, inexpensive staff and don't recognize and appreciate knowledgeable, experienced employees. Definitely male-dominated industry, lots of politics, some market leaders treated department poorly, and the one female principal-in-charge architect treats other women horribly. High turnover in certain departments, especially Marketing.

Pros

Collaborative across offices, regions, states. Great amounts of travel opportunity. Small firm feel in a bigger firm.

Cons

Standards and leadership are still trying to catch up with the growth rate of the firm. Small firm culture which is great... but also entails small firm practices, standards and leadership values that are out of date.
