Pros
Pay is honestly pretty good for an architecture firm (like, actually competitive) Schedule is super flexible, which makes life 100x easier People genuinely listen to your ideas… you don’t feel dismissed or ignored Team cares about design and your opinion, not just checking boxes Communication is clear and people respond quickly (rare lol) You don’t feel micromanaged, they trust you to handle your work Leadership isn’t intimidating; everyone’s approachable The vibe is collaborative, not cliquey You can bring up an idea and they’ll actually consider it Workload feels normal, not “I’m going to cry at my desk” Projects are interesting, not repetitive or boring You can grow here without begging for it Office energy is good, no toxic weirdness They actually care about people, not just deadlines
Cons
Things can move a little slow sometimes You end up doing a lot because you’re good at it Some processes could be more organized Overall, normal work cons lol
