Pros

Large A/E firm with specialties. Relatively high compensations than other architectural firms. "Employee-own" with 401-K stock options. Multiple offices accross the nation and growing of international offices.

Cons

Not known for "design" work, but is in the process of "rebranding" the firm's design image. New high level operation managment equates to company's cultural reallignment.
