      Pros

      This company does really well nationally and has good work projects.

      Cons

      -Micromanagement office culture of staff. -DM's are very difficult to work with they run teams to the ground and they are not sensitive to team members' needs. -There is a lot of favoritism in this office. -It's a dreadful corporate culture, and you will be overworked. -There's a lack of ethics and professionalism from the management HR staff, managers, and Design Managers - HR has little to no moral compass, you're on your own at this company. -Theirs a lot of emails to participation for Wokeism, and Leftist training at the workplace, which is over the top and unprofessional to press on their employees. -They want to control employees' bodies and they keep sending harassing emails for overstepping on employees' Medical Privacy on EUA for your own bodily autonomy. -The HR personnel is always asking about vaccine injections and restricts you to go to the office. This is a violation of Medical Privacy that has made me seek legal counsel for stress and harassment at the workplace against HR personnel and DM's.

      Pros

      Nice office, lots of “rah rah Gensler” events with food & booze, some nice people

      Cons

      Where do I start…..some studios are TOXIC. Favoritism permeates every aspect of working here. It’s nauseating. There is zero loyalty, zero recognition for hard work (yeah you get a bonus but sometimes a kind word is needed). Oh-and never ever express an opinion that may be in opposition to “leadership’s”. Your private life, beliefs, politics and other personal things are fair game for letting you go. I’ve seen it happen-fired because someone expresses in a private conversation that one has ethical concerns regarding projects that are in the office (but in another studio/office) will get you fired. They will make up some bs about “work performance”, yet no conversation ever with anyone about “needing improvement “. Out of left field. Bye bye. Management tells leadership that they’d already “warned” the person-completely untrue. Hear later it was likely due to having concerns about a client/project. Lesson learned-shut up, work 12 hrs a day and be happy with the scraps you’re thrown. Also-egos galore! Unwillingness to take accountability for mistakes.
