Pros

Over the years where I have been at this firm I have been and continue to be involved in a multitude of interesting, high quality projects, most of it have been build successfully. It has been extremely rewarding to see all these projects come tu fruition and enjoy the positive feedback from our clients. Our projects have amongst the highest cost per SF in the construction industry and therefore require and absolute attention to detail which provides a constant challenge. I am working out construction details that are unique and require tremendous expertise and collaboration with a group of extremely talented professionals and consultants. We don't really do run of the mill architecture. We continue to push the boundaries of how to build without any room to not execute perfectly given the clients for whom we work that are amongst the most successful brands in the world and always expect perfection.

Cons

Sometimes work doesn't seem to end. Need to manage client expectations to reconcile with the reality of the construction world.

Pros

The team is full of dedicated professionals of all levels. We handle nationwide projects with well-known brands. The projects are challenging and fast paced, team members get to see the process from start to finish. Valerio has grown recently expanding our international offices, New York City and Los Angeles teams and we look forward to Valerio’s 30th anniversary 2024. The team is a truly a great group and very focused.

Cons

This is fast paced and detail oriented work. It is not a con specifically but I wanted to note it for anyone who is not motivated or does not want to be challenged to stay away. Valerio very much promotes from within so it is a great place to start young and grow in the profession.

Pros

If you’re early in your career or looking to get your foot in the door, this can be a decent place to gain experience and build your resume.

Cons

In my experience, the company suffered from excessive micromanagement. Many executives appeared to spend the majority of their time in meetings while remaining disconnected from the day-to-day work. Decisions were often slow, priorities changed frequently, and employees had little autonomy to do their jobs effectively. Compensation was another major concern. I felt salaries were not competitive with the workload and expectations, and there was little transparency around pay or opportunities for meaningful increases. I also had concerns about the company's wage classification practices. It seemed that many employees were classified as salaried even though, based on my understanding of their roles and responsibilities, some may have been more appropriately classified as hourly. I would encourage prospective employees to understand how their position will be classified and whether it aligns with applicable labor laws. Finally, I was concerned that the company appeared to rely heavily on employees working under employment visas in positions that, in my opinion, were compensated below market rates. While I cannot speak to the company's intentions, the overall impression was that this practice contributed to lower wages across all roles.
