Pros

Good place to work if you have adquired experience somewhere else - you will be given freedom to apply your experience. Good opportunities given to young people. Opportunities to work on large international projects.

Cons

Bad place to work to gain experience from peers - lack of experienced technical architects. Most projects don't go further than DD. LACK of standards (REVIT, CAD, etc)... everybody does whatever they want. Everything is different from project to project... from sector to sector. LACK of quality control. Promotion process not transparent. Very few promotions on young staff, but a lot of promotions on the higher ranks.... where logic tells me it should be the other way arround. Lot of personal rotation. People seem to move along after 3 years or so...

Pros

* Opportunities to work on international projects and for new employees to freely share their ideas. * Leadership that not only guides design but also supports employees in becoming better professionals and people. * A great LA office environment with a fitting salary. * An office team with excellent skills and knowledge, and great teams that are easy to work with.

Cons

It seems that incorporating more trend-forward designs could lead to even better results, but as a newcomer, I found it challenging to overcome the established methods and the specific direction and style clients wanted. Nonetheless, they consistently delivered solid outcomes.
