Pros

Flexible working hours. Friendly lower staff

Cons

B&F division is a sinking ship. B&F PMs seems to always picture a rosy outline to upper management and upper management stupidly bites on the crap. Upper management also does not take criticism well and lets go of employee that points out flaws. PM/Managers throws its own subordinate under the bus. Major favoritism existing within departments (Not hvac/plumb/struc). Teaching sessions can be summed up by getting chewed out for hours without actually being told what is wrong and teaching the designers how to fix it (usually on the day of the submission). Lead roles are given to employees that are incompetent or does not have leadership quality to actually get the job done. Raises are usually based on who is favorite to upper management (or immediate manager), has nothing to do with talent or hardwork. Open door policy is not practiced well. Mentorship does not exist, company has gone through multiple lead HR (VP) in the past four years due to CEO's micro management. Firm does not seem to grasp the idea of developing younger staff. Office space has a very depressing and gloom look. An improvement plan was put together by few employees few years back but it disappeared into the corporate wormhole. No pantry with seating for employees to sit and eat lunch, you either sit at you desk alone or eat outside. Collab space didn't exist until 2018 and was quickly turned back to working space due to lack of workstations for all employees. Interns are stuffed in conference rooms because there are no desk for them and not important enough to actually plan around them (its not like they are the future, right?).
