I worked at Perkins & Will full-time for more than a year
Pros
Good office location and bountiful resources and talented people. Good benefits and friendly coworkers
Cons
Seattle office grew very fast between 2015 and 2017, with new staff every week. Hard to create an office culture with that growth and also advancement process was not very clear

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Perkins & Will full-time for less than a year
Pros
The office has a nice atmosphere, and the people were fun and outgoing. Also, office activities and perks were interesting.
Cons
The firm's priorities are all about cost, regardless of talent or medium/long term growth and development, for the employee and the firm itself. So, you may believe there is an overarching culture, or office identity, but it's all superficial and will disappear at the first economic difficulties.

Pros
Perkins and Will as a company is great, the Denver office is a nightmare!
Cons
Arrogant egotistical management who never even talk or care about their employees. When Perkins and Will bought out Sink Combs (previous firm) the management had to sign a five-year contract in 2017. DO NOT WORK FOR PW DENVER UNTILL AFTER 2022. Hopefully things will get better after that.

Pros
I had an overall positive experience, but the list below needs attention to move from a good rating to truly being an exceptional leader in the industry. Even at the top there's room for improvement.
Cons
Words on a corporate website don't match day-to-day actions in the office and employee experience.
