Toxic Environment - Anonymous employee ODA Architecture Employee Review

Incredible opportunities for those with initiative. It’s rare to find such high profile projects in such a small and nimble office. Wonderful people!

Since people are treated so differently in this sink or swim environment, some aren’t given enough opportunity to prove their strengths, and they get pigeon holed in the wrong direction or without enough support. Also, running lean teams and timelines without clear standards sometimes leads to messy processes, and management needs to better support those who are disproportionately buried under the mess.

Expanding and growing office, a lot of projects

Mismanage, understaff, and overlook projects. Team morale runs low. Depending on where you land, you may like it for a while, even though you are put under crazy deadlines. Or you may just land straight into a horror story that everyone is trying to leave.
