Pros

LS3P offers solid long-term career potential for those who already have a few years of experience. There’s clear room to advance once you’ve proven yourself. The firm produces excellent work and maintains a strong presence in the industry. I also met several colleagues who were passionate, thoughtful, and good at what they do.

Cons

1. Lack of Supervisory Communication and Training: I did not receive consistent or actionable feedback from my supervisor. When I asked for more structure—such as one-on-one training or clearer expectations—my requests were acknowledged but never followed through. I was never told that my performance required any improvement plan, yet later learned that another new specialist was receiving individualized training that I had specifically requested. When I asked why this wasn’t offered to me, I was told that previous hires hadn’t received it either, which felt dismissive and inconsistent. 2. Limited and Contradictory Feedback: Constructive critique often came secondhand, weeks after the fact, and sometimes contradicted feedback from teammates. I value direct communication and repeatedly expressed that to my supervisor, but that need wasn’t met. 3. Role Misrepresented in Hiring: I was hired directly out of college and told that leadership would help me transition and learn the ropes. However, the actual workload and expectations were better suited for someone with significantly more experience. Even my supervisor admitted that she sometimes forgot I was a new graduate—which says a lot about the lack of onboarding and mentorship. 4. Poor Communication During Termination Process: In my final month, meetings about my performance were scheduled abruptly (usually Friday for Monday morning) with no context or opportunity to prepare. I was never given specific steps to improve. Once my termination was announced, communication stopped almost entirely—I was removed from projects without instruction, and my supervisor only contacted me once to ask about returning equipment. I had to follow up myself for details about insurance, final pay, and exit procedures.

Pros

This firm has a lot of positives. They are genuinely interested in doing good things. however, it is important to realize that if you are coming from a multinational company, you will struggle here on a number of dimensions. The first leadership, then compensation (which was updated in 2022 but not nearly enough) and everything that comes with generalizations of the South. I’ll let you fill in those blanks. People were genteel, kind to your face. They offer food often during lunch and learns. The company takes employees on walking tours in the Charleston office which is greatly appreciated by all to get to know the city and architecture. what’s missing from these walks and luncheon learns is the honest truth about what is happening to development and properties on the peninsula. That entire region is at threat of being underwater, but nothing was ever mentioned.

Cons

Old-fashioned hierarchy. White males paid higher than everyone else, you will see wide disparity between them and females/minorities. I believe they want to change, but maybe not as ready as they think they are for that. It will take time. In the meantime they may lose great people.
