Pros

Cool Coffee Machine and beer fountain in the office but not enough to keep great hardworking individuals who were lied to!

Cons

Not a great firm for people of color; During quarterly reviews they talk about how this is the greatest firm in the World to work for, LMFAO!! Promotions, bonuses and pay increase are based on who you know in the firm. Gossip culture around the company is done by even the management, they will talk negatively behind your back ,even well known coworkers tend to have their selective groups of gossip. Sometimes you don't feel like you belong. They favor Landscapes architects a lot. If you are a fresh passionate graduate from college then this is NOT a place for your carrier growth. There is no training, no direction, you will get lost, they bring you in with expectations to deliver on your first day. They are always hiring because they lose good people every single day whom were lied to and later realized this is not a place for them. Fake promises are told to you to accept the offer!

Pros

Great talent, leadership and potential to grow in the DFW market.

Cons

With the potential for growth in the DFW market, and so many areas to grow, staying focused on or two markets is tough.

Pros

Pay and benefits are decent. Hours are not outrageous, most weeks are just under 45 hours. Decent starter job, but most people with 3-5 years experience will leave for better opportunities.

Cons

No sick time and the PTO isn't great. Lack of diversity in leadership, holidays (no MLK day or Juneteenth off), or thinking (there is a "LandDesign" way of doing things, going outside that or questioning the established way of doing work is frowned upon). Getting pigeon-holed into one type of project or task is very common in my experience. Talk of "long hallways" but no actual cohesion between offices. A lot of playing into the games, fighting for popularity in order to get good projects and move up in the firm. Depending on the office/studio, projects can be pretty lackluster.
