Pros

can get valuable experience on building designs if you are lucky to work with some of the brilliant individuals. there was a clear aim to progress the practice into being a modern architecture practice where people are excited to go to work ; good social events

Cons

consistently overworked without much reward and feeling of satisfaction; easy to get pigeonholed into one aspect of the job; there were moments of toxic criticism from middle management which wasn't helpful. dreaded every Monday morning.

Pros

Big practice means opportunities. If you’re in favour you’ll get treated well

Cons

Lack of transparency and poor communication. Lack of integrity - would promote themselves but day to day decisions would not reflect this.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your time with us. We’re pleased to hear that you recognised the opportunities that come from being part of a larger practice. At the same time, we’re sorry to read that your experience of communication and transparency did not meet expectations. Clear and consistent communication is something we continue to focus on across the business, particularly as we grow. We recognise that experiences can vary between teams and projects, and we are working to improve visibility, consistency, and clarity in how decisions are shared and understood. We also take feedback around culture and integrity seriously. It’s important to us that what we say as a practice is reflected in day-to-day behaviours, and this is an area we continue to review and strengthen through leadership discussions and wider team feedback.
