Pros

Convenient location, some of the staff members are very nice people and great to work with. The office maintains a facade of chill 'vibe'.

Cons

The partners are not good at running their business. I understand that fierce competition among architecture firms results in low fees, but unfortunately DXA's business model is mostly based on low fees, not on good designs or services. This leads to terrible and unfair compensation, and close to none benefits.

Pros

I’ve been at DXA for just under a year and have had a great experience. I’ve gotten experience in many roles and in different project phases in a short amount of time. The company takes on a big variety of project types in different scales which keeps the work exciting. There’s a lot social opportunities to get to know your coworkers too!

Cons

As a smaller office, many people have to wear a lot of hats. However if you can manage your time well, you can really thrive.

Pros

The location of the studio is convenient and easy to access.

Cons

Employees aren't trained at all, but are immediately expected to be able to handle complex tasks without any guidance and work at a high level. Work-life balance is also pretty rough; workloads are brutal and hours are long, with barely any breaks.
