Pros

Good place for young employees. Interesting perks and benefits; paying for exams, scholarships for employees, in house competitions for staff

Cons

employees get pigeonholed OFTEN. there are a few people that are more special than others and seem to get ahead and it doesn't necessarily correlate to the work they do. Its easy to get stuck, doing the same thing over and over and i fear this sentiment is shared among many junior and mid level employees. if you are one of the chosen few who gets the good tasks and the interesting projects, you are a winner. if you are not, it sucks and you should move along There are many studios that do lots of different work but its almost impossible to move between studios Mid level employees are failing juniors. there is an insistence that there is mentorship and there really isn't. People with the PM/PA titles dont really know how to run projects or respect peoples time.

Pros

PE has many opportunities for a variety of practitioners. They are financially very successful and capable of providing state of the art infrastructure allowing one to communicate and collaborate very effectively. The work space is spacious and comfortable. Marketing and management are very strong and is what PE does best. Diverse practice areas is what has made them so successful but it is also at the root of their weakness. Their designers appear to be working well also. Some of the partners are approachable and personable with a gift for bringing out your best effort. Salaries and bonuses are good.

Cons

PE needs to find a brand, they are so diverse with a top heavy staff , many with inflated egos. Too many of the principals are only interestedin personal advancement that they tend to overlook quality of services being provided. The approach in design does not allow for attention to detail. They deliver mostly conceptual designs. This may be cost effective but their approach and results have failed to yield a recognizable brand. PE also needs to shed the appearance of race and gender favoritism. Many of the titled positions are held by white males, this really needs to change.
