Pros

Theoretically there are opportunities for diverse project exposure. A good office for junior staff to learn in and develop skills, specifically in multifamily residential. There are certain senior staff who will go above and beyond to share their knowledge with you. Unfortunately this is a pretty condition and reserved for leadership "pet project" types and not universally available to all. A lot of senior leadership will work with the same 2-3 people on a project and the rest bounce around as "filler" when teams need help for deadlines or if someones on vacation or parental leave, etc.

Cons

Leadership (associates and above) seem too preoccupied/ burdened with corporate demands from the mother ship and demands of their project load to meaningfully engage with project teams. In many years at this location, only a handful of my smaller project teams ever had regular team meetings. The lack of visibility of junior team members meant inaccurate and incomplete personnel reviews and in my opinion this significantly limited my advancement opportunities.
