Pros

Great work life balance, benefits and flexible PTO schedule.

Cons

Seniors are unavailable for Guidance as they are pretty busy with their hectic schedules, so for a new designer out of the college i might not recommend it.

Pros

Very welcoming environment with talented engineers and architects. They’re passionate about sustainability and performance-driven design. IMPACT is great as well.

Cons

Tasks could get boring after a while, which is true for repetitive work in any field, not just this company. But for a short-term internship, everything felt enjoyable and educational.
