Very weird mix of good and bad

Pros

There are certainly some brilliant designers, and many exciting projects in all corners of the world, but lots of local connections as well. Jim Olson is a treasure. Kegerator was a plus.

Cons

Pretty toxic, elitist snobbery in some corners of the office. Lots of big ego designs. Plenty of 1% clients, projects that leave you feeling dirty and like a sellout, like part of the problem, not the solution. Ridiculous hiring/firing decisions, full of passive-aggressive, back-stabbing and rampant rumor-milling.

Pros

Impressive commitment to top level design and sustainability. Interesting projects and interesting people to work with. High level of integrity.

Cons

Management could be more efficient. Change happens very slowly. Little communication with upper management/partners. Not enough leadership and growth opportunities to go around.
