Pros
Career building resources are plentiful Flexible work culture with downtown location Great studio that works on a variety of project types
Cons
I’m not sure it’s a con, but PW has high expectations for all employees. You must obtain LEED GA within 6 months at a minimum, but they encourage all to get the BD+C. It shouldn’t be a surprise, but they also expect you to become registered architect. They demand excellence in every facet. Again, I wouldn’t say this is a bad thing, but if you aren’t ready for it, be prepared to achieve the best you.
