      Terrible

      Interior designer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay, bonuses, alcohol during the day (but is that really a “pro”? Unprofessional in retrospect).

      Cons

      Horrible mentoring, little to no leadership, “mean-girl” culture, terrible studio leaders who take no responsibility for their poor/incomplete/badly designed space, frought with mistakes. Gossipy studio directors who talk about fellow designers behind their backs. Very unprofessional.

      Opportunities for growth

      Technical designer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Global firm with resources for research and development. Multiple opportunities for growth in a variety of practice areas and interests. Ability to meet people from around the world.

      Cons

      There can be a lot of red tape if when it comes to exploring some ideas or initiatives. Corporate culture can be stifling. Communication of decisions not always clear to employees.
