Pros

- Talented people - Great projects for conceptual and schematic phases - Tight knit teams - Lots of opporunities for transferring to other global offices and build connections - Opportunities to expand network and travel with mother company Arcadis for younger employees

Cons

- Majority of commercial / retail projects are bids or competitions - leading to high intensive timelines and workloads with no project fee - Not many projects to learn from conceptual phase to site/construction documentation for interiors teams - Poor project management - a lot of overtime and rushed timelines with not enough resourcing

Pros

* Opportunities to work on international projects and for new employees to freely share their ideas. * Leadership that not only guides design but also supports employees in becoming better professionals and people. * A great LA office environment with a fitting salary. * An office team with excellent skills and knowledge, and great teams that are easy to work with.

Cons

It seems that incorporating more trend-forward designs could lead to even better results, but as a newcomer, I found it challenging to overcome the established methods and the specific direction and style clients wanted. Nonetheless, they consistently delivered solid outcomes.
