IA Interior Architects reviews

The Executive Team should shift their focus from individual offices to the organization as a whole. They need to improve their communication with the staff and develop their more senior staff on management skills. There are some that are really good with the business side of their job but some lack in the employee development or management part.

Poor & Dysfunctional Management: people who should have been fired, were not because management did not want to have the uncomfortable conversation. And in certain instances, the less than stellar employee was actually promoted! Communication was terrible. Simple things were not communicated effectively ( closing the office early before holidays was not communicated until an hour before we closed for the day - and more often than not, it was less notice). Jr. staff was severely overworked and rarely recognized or rewarded for putting in long hours on project deadlines. Managing Principal micro-managed a lot of things that could have easily been managed by the office principals - which i think caused a lot of the poor communication. Seemed like the office principals were tasked with the results, but not given authority to make decisions. Poor communication between the office principals often seemed to cause rifts withing the office staff - making you feel like you had to choose sides.
