Pros
Some interesting projects in important market sectors, fiscally conservative, some good and talented folks on staff, work is shared among locations
Cons
Poor management structure and decision making: All decisions are top-down management style even for what most of us would consider minor, resulting in folks either going rogue or not willing to take any responsibility. Since upper management cannot know everything intimately then this leads to poor choices. Employees: Politics can only explain why some people are overworked while others do nothing all day. Diversity is poor even for the architectural field. Too many are short on technical skills and planning concepts. Outlook: On the surface it may appear that they are into current trends, but these are just for show and in reality they are still stuck in the distant past, since many folks do only what is comfortable for them.
