Pros

None, High turn over. Every 8-12 month there is a new set of employees. DSB likes to discuss company values but never practices the values. Its all a big fat Lie.

Cons

So many cons to remember all: micromanagement, rude lack of communication, bad reputation in the industry. In the business of change orders. Low bids to get in the door, which in turn does not make the customer happy. Unless if you have kids you will have to come into the office or if you do not live in the foot hills you will also have to come in every day by 8am.

Pros

The employees (your immediate team), local clients are good folks to work with, collaboration with great architecture firms on projects, you can learn a lot about healthcare design

Cons

Owner micro manages everything and does not place trust in employees. The office is personal, not business and therefore feels like a toxic relationship; very hold/cold, one minute you think everything is fine and the next you’re being chastised for not answering an email fast enough. Don’t expect that you’ll get to be creative because almost everything is pre-baked and you’re not allowed to change offer anything. Complete lack of training for new employees and junior designers are expected to perform at mid level designer output, which is stressful and unfair. Antiquated office model where employees are expected to clock in exactly on time every day and not leave early and you feel the heat on the back of your neck if you do; next to no flexibility.
