Pros

Good Benefits, WFH compatible, really great up to date software and business plans

Cons

bad upper management, plays favoritism, really hard to move up due to this. HR is not strict on rules, people get left out and have trouble fitting in

Pros

Great collaboration in between teams and disciplines, leadership cares, office design leaders are passionate and knowledgeable, design is at the forefront, definite leaders in the industry, PTO and time off is decent, offices are well organized and beautiful places to work, provided fruit, forward thinking, generally everyone is very nice, there are very good people to learn from, very transparent about company growth and earnings.

Cons

Little to no real one-on-one mentorship as a new employee, workload is unmanageable especially around the felt like overtime shouldn't be charged, do not pay for time spent learning or growing while at work (lunch and learns, learning from representatives, etc), no pay for learning related work trips, expected to use time off for work related trips or group activities, no real guidance for growth opportunities besides strictly moving up to the next level (1, 2, 3), the coaching system in place was very poor and did not help growth at all, wish there had been more cultural diversity.

We are disappointed to hear that this employee did not have a positive experience with our Coaching program. In this program, every staff member is aligned with a coach to help identify opportunities to enhance their career. We generally hear very positive feedback for this approach. Every employee also has access to InKNOWvations, our firmwide learning platform that is full of different tools to build knowledge and provide resources to aid your personal growth. We appreciate and agree with the sentiment to embrace diversity. We are deeply committed to creating a culture that promotes equity, diversity and inclusion. In 2020, we enhanced this commitment by establishing a board-level Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee that is made up of staff members from across the firm and represents a wide range of personal and professional experiences. This team serves as advisors to our senior leadership team and is committed to ending systemic racism and injustice. We don’t have all of the answers, but we have made a commitment to finding them.

Pros

Has/had a good reputation Decent benefits (like Fridays off) Some good people Treat women well for the most part (many are able to rise up in the company)

Cons

People tend to get put in positions for which they don't have the proper experience Healthcare area seems to be getting weaker; not doing enough to bring in experienced people Design quality lacking; focus on more on project delivery - even if it means doing mediocre work. Limited opps for rising beyond a certain level
