Pros
Client interaction at all levels of experience Projects from a wide range of industries Multidiscipline environment
Cons
In any company, the cultural drive to create the best designs possible comes from the top down and Speck’s CEO/Owner does not have the experience or genuine desire to do the work it takes. It’s all about the bottom line and selling the company. Your passion for design will be drained until there is only a husk. Many promises for benefits like matching 401K are “offered” but there is little follow through or consistency. Turnover has significant effects on culture and maintaining internal processes. You are “required” to meet a 40 hour billable week which is difficult when you end up with 8-12 hours of internal meetings a week.
