Perkins & Will reviews

The San Francicso Office is a mess. The new Managing Director is not qualified to run an office. The last MD had his issues but at least had passion for design and you knew what you were getting with him. Unlike the current regime who is not honest and will stab anyone in the back. Although the overall staff is 50/50 male/female, the office is run mostly by men and the Senior Leadership is disconnected and lack empathy. Culture is none existent under new management. The vision is risk management. Design is nonexistent.

Full to the brim with office politics. Nothing is based on your performance, no one cares about your performance, your interests, or your strengths and weaknesses. The later you stay at the office, the better you look to upper management. There is no effort to foster a collaborative studio culture, and upper management obviously does not care about their employees. You can quit after a decade of invaluable service, and they will simply show you out the door and hire someone else. Hiring is haphazard and desperate, staffing is inconsiderate and unbalanced. Management does not know how to handle 100+ employees, and they're not trying to change their outdated ways of running things or listening to complaints. This is an office all about profit, with close to zero humanity and a dead culture.
