Pros

Very cool office location and vibe. Week off after Christmas and new years

Cons

A very toxic work environment hidden by a fake facade. Upper management is trying to brand themselves as a “world class firm” when sort of like the city of Charlotte, It will never quite be one. The people are overworked and stressed. Drive by late at night. People working late for pennies. This job isn’t worth your happiness or sanity find a better place to work

Pros

One of the few “perks” is a nitro cold brew kegerator, which feels less like a benefit and more like a way to keep employees awake during the long hours often required to meet unrealistic deadlines. Rather than relying on surface-level amenities, the firm would be better served by writing adequate project budgets and fairly compensating employees for their time and contributions.

Cons

Late hours are often expected without additional compensation or regard for work-life balance. Micromanagement is common, and in many cases, there is a lack of middle management to support staff or distribute workload effectively. Despite the firm’s portfolio, the work itself often lacks meaning for individual contributors, who are frequently pigeonholed into repetitive tasks with little opportunity to grow or diversify their skills. Advancement is rarely based on merit; even when employees perform well beyond their title, promotions are unlikely without direct favoritism from a partner. Creative input from designers is minimal, as senior leadership maintains rigid control over the design process, effectively reducing most designers to CAD production roles.
