Company to grow with

Pros

Fast-pace projects are quick to move and easily provide visibility from start to finish. Very detail heavy which provides much room to learn and improve through collaborative efforts. Team-oriented environment with a good group of professionals. Great location. Good benefits package with opportunity to advance within.

Cons

Relative to being on the "pros" side the projects are very fast moving. Employees coming from a different experience (i.e. healthcare, education) may be in for a challenging but rewarding change. Everyday is something new with the projects.

Pros

People are generally pretty cool; there are some dorks but what company doesn't have them? Great place if you have a few years of experience and can keep up with a growing company. The work is challenging and I learned a lot here. If my significant other hadn't moved, I would have stayed working there...

Cons

Can get crazy busy. Have to take my vacation in December whether I like it or not...

Micromanagement Central

Pros

Great location. A lot of good people pass through here but most of them don't last long. Casual small firm atmosphere. Although things often lean toward the unprofessional side. This is a fast pace high turnover sink or swim kind of place. It isn't for everyone. The potential is there. Unfortunately the growing pains of a small firm with newly found success is still very visible.

Cons

Don't be fooled by the advertised career advancement potential or the big happy family act. The turnover in this office is unreal for a reason. Consider yourself warned. Most of the managers in place are not there by merit but simply longevity. Choose your allies carefully. Do not trust the cheery online reviews. Management wrote or had admin write those with the promise of free lunch. This is an executive interior architecture firm. Don't expect to design anything. This is not a learning environment. Mentoring is confused here with being condescending and derogatory. Be prepared to be heavily micromanaged and put down. Most of the people in this office did not go to an accredited architecture school and have no intention of ever getting licensed. Also if you are plan on reporting training hours, your first 6 months will not be signed off on. Company policy. Unless you're doing Starbucks CDs you will be wasting your time drafting in Powercadd (awful but cheap program no one in the industry uses)

Thank you for providing feedback on your experience at Valerio Architects! We are sorry to hear your feedback was critical in multiple areas. Over 50% of our team has been with the firm for over 5 years, a majority of which have experienced promotions and increased their positions through hard work. We highly promote learning and support being self-driven but also team oriented. Resources are available to help ensure the success in each level position. We appreciate your feedback and are confident the points concerned are not applicable to today’s team.
