Pros

Just the things you need to know, you decide pro or con. Nice people Benefits are over the top, see next line before you get excited Low pay, total comp is well below industry standard Bonuses have been low for the past seven years Publicly traded and owned by arcadis Large turnover We closed a few offices last year

Cons

Design work is ok, not great Lots of management training, spreadsheets and controls - not a lot of design conversation Favoritism runs high Big raises go to those who threaten to leave, otherwise it’s likely just cost of living People who have been here a long time, talk about the past like my pop pop talks about the good old days.

I'm not sure what office you are in, but I invite you to reach out to HR/leadership to talk through any questions you might have. We are interested in your perspective and appreciate your feedback. To clarify a few of your points: we continuously benchmark our salaries/benefits against the industry and find we are at/above industry standards. All companies across all industries are experiencing turnover as we come out of the pandemic. We are not closing offices but making decisions that support our work from anywhere, and having excessive real estate is not good business. We are excited about our people and our future. Connect with us, and let’s work together.

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.
