Pros

Listen, it’s a renown firm that’s cemented itself as canonical in 21st century practice; an entry in the history books for decades to come. Leadership are incredibly sharp architects that are truly worthy of the respect that they have been able to achieve, however….

Cons

It’s not a place you want to work for more than a year. Unless you are on the non-architectural staff.

Pros

The pay is good. You might get an opportunity to work on a cool project, but that’s increasingly rare as the studio’s work has worsened in quality over the years. You will learn a lot and fast, which will benefit you at your next job.

Cons

Lack of respect and appreciation from the partners and leadership. Constant pushing of boundaries. Toxic communication with leadership that borders on abusive. Bullying is common. Lack of true mentorship and training. It’s very much a “figure it out” kind of place. Lack of support on certain teams, which sets people up to fail. Lack of any clear trajectory for employees. People can stay stuck in whatever position they were hired into for a long time. Blatant favoritism on behalf of the partners.
