Pros

Lots of expertise in many different areas and locations, working and collaborating with high profile teams for lucrative design work. Really great place to work to learn a lot about a variety of design processes/components.

Cons

Limited range of project types, little to no diversity in leadership, very narrow (if any) growth opportunities. Little to no flexibility for remote work (depending on project team). Very low pay relative to cost of living for younger staff. Demanding, long hours with no paid overtime or comp time, miniscule bonus (if received at all).

Pros

- The environment at the firm when I frist arrived at the intern is welcoming and productive. - Overtime is paid as an intern - You will learn a lot really quick with the right team - The team and the people at the firm - I am still in contact with the people at the firm, and they are always so nice and welcoming to extend help as much as they can regarding school or career wise even though I am not at the firm anymore. The connection stays with you. - The projects and the design is rigorous and well thought out.

Cons

- N/A - Location being New Haven, but I didn't mind it all because it had alot of good food options and also a 2 hour train ride away to NYC or Boston. - Design architects so if you want CA experience it will be harder to get it here, but they still do CAs and CDs but not as much as a full service firm
