Pros

Be immersed in all facets of building development. As an architect you will be involved in Land acquisition, Financing, Design, Construction and Post Occupancy. The experience gained at Optima is more comprehensive than any typical architecture firm. Our fast pace sets us apart from our competitors. Compensation is above average in the industry.

Cons

Opportunities to lead design of projects is more limited. Working with a lean support staff means doing more things yourself. Smaller privately held company have a less attractive benefits program.
