Pros

Company sets into place grandiose plans for their future, however these plans are never implemented. Management will generally give you freedom in doing your work, but this also comes with no mentorship or feedback.

Cons

Significantly underpay A/E staff, apparently need the money to pay unbillable marketing, HR, graphics, etc. Will have entry level staff performing job duties of more senior staff, without making pay commensurate with responsibility.

Pros

- Good benefits - Flexibility (just be sure to communicate your needs) - Beautiful office locations

Cons

- Project Managers can be rude and demanding - Lack of training or introduction, especially for younger professionals who didn't go through their intern program (I wasn't even formally introduced to the office) - Poor communication with no big picture focus...lots of micro managing and unforgiving timecard policy
