The Interior Design department is a complete mess. Sadly, it is very secondary within the overall office and in the contributions made to projects. It is seriously disorganized, employees are stretched very thin, and there is a lack of true design leadership, they are horrible micromanagers. The Seattle interiors team has a toxic and dysfunctional dynamic among them. The vast majority live under significant stress and in toxic competition with each other, very gossipy and overall demoralizing. Several "retreats" had to be organized to bring the team together and fix the dynamic because it was so damaged. The retreats did not fix anything.
As for the design, super limited and restrained to “Olson Kundig” DNA interiors which is quite limiting and honestly boring after a while. If you want to grow as a professional, this is NOT your place. If you want to be in secretive fights within your team and constantly have to claw your way to the top, then go ahead!
