One of the worst places I have worked at in my career - Interior Designer HLW Employee Review

The people are very nice, a collaborative culture rather than competitive, management cares about employees, a wonderful mix of clients that come back to HLW time and time again (which says a lot about the company), respected name in the industry, all offices have nice physical working spaces, specific focus on diversity and inclusion initiatives, solid benefits, and offers good work/life balance.

None that I can think of.

A lot of space for opportunity! If you work hard, you can create opportunity for yourself and experience a lot of career growth. You are not kept in a box. If you are a young designer, the community here is so great and fun socially, and you will grow much more than you might elsewhere! Seniors/principles are generally inspiring, positive people to look up to. I look forward to seeing each person daily, it makes me want to come into the office everyday.

The team in Santa Monica is understaffed in a few areas, leaving many employees with more responsibility than realistic. It is hit or miss on if you end up being an employee that carries a heavier load than others with your same title.
