Unspace reviews

Tiny salary with lots of work

I was never a victim of the verbal abuse because I was there such a short time and I just kept it to myself, but I did see a lot of unprofessionalism by Ji while I was there. I was an intern and there were 3 other interns and 1 designer. 1 designer & 1 intern left shortly after I started. And 2 were starting new. I first chose this firm to intern for because he was Korean. I wanted to learn how Korean American could succeed in NYC, wanted to learn the charisma and the work process of Ji. So I started with a optimism. But just few weeks in, I realized it was all just a show from outside. He is very good at talking so he can lie or cheat or take advantage of other people easily. He does get very moody and lets it out on the workers. All replies from the reviews shows how tedious he is and defensive he gets himself. Just wanted to point out some things he replied to other reviewers. 1) Ofcourse there can be changes in projects because that’s the nature of our industry, but blaming it on the staff is never professional and not a LEADER like action. Progressive change is not always good, when it comes to making decisions and getting things done, there needs to be a certain deadline in finishing work. Architecture/ interior design isn’t an art form, it’s done with a lot of vendors and coordination. So just because you want to change something at certain phase does not make it ok- unprofessional. 1) At least while I was there, you never asked us to leave early- but rather you were rarely in the office. 2) Your “awards” are never by your idea. You slave the interns or designers and it’s their idea. You just take credit for them 100%. 3) Saying “you are the nicest guy” and reading positive feedback is NOT a “constructive criticism” everything else in the review is more constructive than other reviews that you yourself wrote. 4) If you are so self-observed you’re firm will always be the way it is. I don’t need to say what kind of firm you have, you yourself will probably know. You can try to hide and make it seem like your company is this great place, but at the end of the day, if you are the founder of the company and it’s your employees that works for you and will experience and leave.
