Pros

RTKL London's designers spent most of time doing non intelligent work. People constantly feeling bored and tired. It's the most bureaucratic firm I have ever worked for. The salary just can't compensate the bad work life balance. The worst however is the designers have nothing to show as a proud project.

Cons

It's a haven for people who can talk but have no real talent. There's an appreciation from the leadership for people who can keep the heads down and get things done. The educational background or talent doesn't matter that much.

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.
