Pros
I was employed for over a year at LandDesign before reluctantly leaving due to personal reasons that had me move to a new city. I can’t say enough how much I loved working for LandDesign. My team leader was also a partner of the firm and was more of a mentor and educator to me than a boss. I learned a lot from him and the my other team members, which I fondly referred to as my work family and friends.
I loved the projects I contributed to and the opportunities to grow and learn within the firm. The office I was in also contained civil engineers, marketing, graphic design, etc. I had opportunities to collaborate with them and learn skills beyond just landscape architecture.
LandDesign treats their employees well not only with benefits but by focusing on employee health, happiness, and work-life balance - something that is very important to me. The management is helpful, understanding, and an overall joy to be around. The current CEO is progressive and is always seeking out ways to improve the firm and the happiness of the employees. The office in general is a very open, and diverse group of people. From my observations, the firm constantly seems to strive for diversity, equality, and inclusion in the workplace.
I’d give LandDesign 6 out of 5 stars if I could. I have not worked for the firm in over year, but I think about the people and all of learned there nearly every day. If somehow the opportunity to go back to LandDesign ever presented itself, I would take it in a heartbeat!
Cons
No significant cons I can think of.
