Pros

opportunities to see a lot of different projects. They really do try to innovate for clients and change the way architecture is practiced

Cons

like other reviewers might say, low pay for long hours. depending on where you are in the firm, moving up and moving around is difficult. they don't always care about your personal goals

Pros

Stimulating, globally focussed environment with an emphasis on the power of design to transform businesses & lives. You are encouraged to follow your passions and have them contribute to the rest of the firm. Employee ownership contributes to a feeling of collective responsibility for the future.

Cons

You are fully responsible for your own success which includes fighting to be on a good project team. Document all your accomplishments in a demonstrable way and be prepared to fight for recognition.

Pros

In DC, the only firm with enough interesting work besides Baranes. Some very talented people, a couple of really grest designers, but somewhat wasted. Nice physical space.

Cons

No design culture. All about making money. Really poor pay. Leadership is oblivious to talent around them. Some of the clients are really horrible.
