Pros

LS3P has some incredible talent. There are great technical leaders and a few good designers. They have managed to recruit some wonderful young people as well.

Cons

The leadership here is antiquated and backwards. There is a significant disparity between the managing principles of the firm, and the young people they are bringing in. A vast majority of the middle level mentors and architects have left because of this lack of agile leadership, and far better pay elsewhere. While offering competitive salaries from the start, LS3P is known for stagnating even extremely talented people, and trusting the young employees will not talk about it. We do. Every other architecture firm in Charlotte is offering overtime pay for employees not in positions of leadership - LS3P should be too, to place value on the amount of overworking so many here do. There is virtually no investment in design innovation, firmwide.

Pros

I have never been in a large design firm with such a great team culture. I have learned quite a bit so far since working here. Everyone who I have interacted with has genuinely been more than happy to help. My sense of design and understanding of the construction process has definitely improved since working at LS3P. I have also appreciated the variety of individuals who are joining the firm from all around the country. Recently, the firm announced their new strategy and future plans. I think that it is so valuable to have leadership (that is truly approachable) continually thinking about ways to innovate how we grow as a firm. I am confident in the direction we are headed!

Cons

I think sometimes people complain about being overworked but honestly, LS3P has provided many resources and flexibility if you are feeling bogged down. I have always felt like I can ask for help and that I am supported.
