Pros

A great opportunity for growth if you find yourself under the right project managers and supervisors, and are lucky to work on some of the great projects. Employee ownership and overall benefits are a great bonus to this company.

Cons

The past few years the Architecture company has suffered. Some managers/supervisors are not as invested in their younger staff as others, and require more persistence in mentoring when you have carreer goals. Others tend to micromanage and when they tell you they want to see you grow you believe them until they suppress your opportunities by constantly taking over your projects. Unrealistic project deadlines are also a very common theme around here.
