Pros

The team I joined was great. I met one of my good friends there, and we still talk occasionally even after I left the company. The projects I was involved was pretty cool too.

Cons

They claim to value your work/life balance but that’s not true. I worked more than 40 hours/week most of the time, and some people in management look down on you if you don’t put on more than 40 hours/week. They also play favorites. You can tell who are their favorites when promotion times come.

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.
