Culture lacks diversity - Anonymous employee VSA Partners, LLC Employee Review

VSA is a design firm first and foremost, and it does design well. However, it is a predominantly white agency that promotes a particular type of personality: extroverted, opinionated, and quick to judge. If you do not have these characteristics, you will not thrive here. Characteristics like introversion, thoughtfulness, deliberateness are not welcomed, particularly in the San Francisco office. The company does not make it a priority to address issues like unconscious biases, nor does it take into consideration the fact that cultural backgrounds come into play when shaping an employees' way of interacting with people or solving challenges.
