Good Small Firm, Hands on Experience - Architectural Intern Method Architecture Employee Review

I really enjoy working here and the team is great. lots of team building activities. management isn’t too strict. very flexible with students. good work life balance. diverse and young team.

pay is on the medium lower end but honestly ill take it for a healthy work environment

Pros: - awesome work peers - break room filled with snacks - vendor product presentations - collaboration - unlimited PTO (this is at the discretion of your studio manager) - they make you feel included in many ways from work, to outings, etc.

Cons: - changes for their drawing standards happen way too often - consistency in communication lacks with upper management - the firm's goals are unrealistic for their lower chain of command - unlimited PTO is questionable - no compensation for any overtime hours (part of having "unlimited PTO") - upper management has their favorites and they make it very clear - major lack of transparency and dishonesty between employees creates mental exhaustion and creates unnecessary tension - expectations of one's own work has to go over and beyond to make it through the tough times at this company & to be noticed as a person - upper management is unprofessional in many ways
