Engberg Anderson Reviews

I had high hopes when I joined EA, but unfortunately, the management style and workplace environment left much to be desired. Communication is a major issue—important updates and decisions are often not shared in a timely manner, leaving employees feeling out of the loop and undervalued. Leadership seems resistant to feedback and hesitant to embrace change, even when it’s clear that adjustments could improve workflows and employee satisfaction. Suggestions for improvement are frequently dismissed without consideration, fostering a sense of frustration among the team. Additionally, there’s a noticeable lack of transparency. Decisions are made behind closed doors, and employees are expected to adapt without explanation or input. This approach creates a divide between leadership and staff, making it difficult to feel engaged or motivated. Overall, while there are talented individuals working here, the management’s reluctance to communicate openly or embrace new ideas significantly undermines the potential of the organization. I hope they take steps to address these issues for the sake of their employees and the company's future.

Office culture is very poor. Favoritism and gossip by the manager and senior staff. You are not invited to most design and client meetings. You do not collaborate with other architects because of the size of the projects. No diversity or any effort of inclusion of minorities.
