Pros

The option to transfer to another office, they are global.

Cons

If you are not a designer or an architect, you are not valued. Plain and simple. I suggested a process to improve the workflow of the studio coordinators and my email was intercepted by HR who reprimanded me for trying to "coerce the employees" and "disrupting the system".

Pros

laidback; great flexibilty for working parents; the project range is amazing and opportunities to grow in the firm are unlimited.

Cons

while easy to grow within the firm, harder to grow within the office, though this seems to be changing; too structured within the office space (it needs to be more casual and messy)

Pros

Free food and parties, good location

Cons

The senior management in this office is despicable, incompetent, and unprofessional. Not a place to find respectable or even talented mentors, especially in Interior Design, unless navigating politics and learning to be fake & corporate is your goal. Also, the same designs are chewed up and spit out over and over. Every interiors project looks similar and trendy. Verbal abuse is rampant as well as manipulation and ignorance by senior staff in the interiors studio. Interior design project managers are disrespectful and will throw anyone under the bus to get ahead. Getting ahead here and being awarded a title is not a compliment to your values or character-rather an insult that you would become one of "them". In fact, a number of people here refused promotions and left the company. In the last year and a half about 50 people have quit. Don't bother working here. Overall toxic culture, abusive environment, lack of role models for personal integrity or good design.
