Please don't work here - Anonymous employee JOHN MCNEIL STUDIO Employee Review

Incredibly interesting work, always something fun or exciting happening in the office, beautiful building

Some execs talk down to interns, but that is sometimes expected

Individual relationships are strong The office is inviting and the layout creates a sense of openness that encourages collaboration

Burnout is the norm here. You’re either pushing yourself past the limit or risk being seen as not working hard enough. There isn’t much mentorship, and you’re often expected to churn out ideas without real guidance. The open floor plan suggests collaboration, but the culture doesn’t really back that up. Leadership is overbearing at times, which makes the environment uncomfortable. Growth for women is especially tough, and the turnover rate reflects that. Overall, management is disorganized and quick to lose their temper, which trickles down to the rest of the team. Don’t say anything about it though, that really won’t turn out well.
