Pros

Studio socials and friendship within the team. Mentorship and events.

Cons

Bates Smart is generally a good architectural firm to work for. However, there seems to be an issue with an unlicensed architect in a leadership position tarnishing its reputation, and unfortunately, the studio is tolerating this behavior. It's disappointing to see a reputable architectural firm like this allowing such behavior among its leaders. I hope the company takes action to address this issue; otherwise, negativity like this can spread like rotten tomatoes.
