Business Outlook
Pros
SmithGroup has excellent benefits and bonuses for all employees. There are endless opportunities to advance and learn from very knowledgeable colleagues. The Financial District office location is great and has an open studio floor plan which invites cross-communication.
Cons
SmithGroup is a very large firm. It is highly competitive and lacks a sense of job security. The firm does not make internal training, IDP or ARE a priority, but expects each employee to acquire knowledge and licensure. The design aesthetics are good, but not as great as they could be with the talent there.
