Pros
Other than the free revit training nothing really. They give you a few lectures on some important international working standards too.
Cons
1. Long working hours - I personally do not mind working late being an architect this is what you should expect from any firm. HOWEVER , this particular company here is a SWEATSHOP, like the ones in Bangladesh for clothing manufactures. They purposefully stretch a 2 hour job over 15 hours so that the client can be overcharged on working hours. This results in immense frustration specially if you're not from the IIT ( donkey labor mentality ) colleges. This is another reason why IIT'ians do well in this company. The more creative ones will leave this company within an year max to max. To end this point i would like to tell you that i worked for 15-18 hours EVERYDAY for a month and was still expected to be in office at 8:30 am. And let me tell you this, 18 hours of REPETITIVE work with NO LOGIC whatsoever for a month is very very frustrating. They abuse the hardworking people who have brains to work and people who dont want to work roam around gossiping all day in office doing nothing. And yes, both kinds get the same salary. 2. Quality of Design I worked on two design projects and let me tell you this, had i made those designs even in my 1st semester in college they wouldn't have been acceptable at all. I am not kidding. 3. Racism All the top management is from Beirut. Indian Team leaders are treated worse than expat junior architects. They have a false sense of superiority which could be understood if they were American or British( not saying it's not wrong) but they are only from Lebanon. 3. Standard of drawings Just for fun, work here, open random drawings, zoom in and you can laugh away for another 4 hours. WORK HERE ONLY IF You lack creativity You absolutely hate architecture You would do anything for money An example : After working for this company for one year i was being interviewed for a Bombay based Studio, they said they will hire me as a fresher. I told them that i have one year experience working at DAR. Both of the interviewers burst into laughter and said " Do you really think we would consider that as work experience " ? Advise to freshers reading this. If you want to be a proper architect, you need to work very hard and extremely long hours. Do not waste your crucial time at DAR. Please.
