Pros

1. Nice Christmas party 2. A lot of Projects are in the financial district, makes it easy to visit the sites. 3. Office in the financial district with lots of food options around.

Cons

1. Very small office; around 8 employees . Some employees work from home or in other offices at times, making the office empty most of the time. 2. All the projects are corporate interiors, with small budget and intent of getting them done as quick as possible, resulting in low quality, repetitive work. There is lots of copy and paste from other projects. 3. The office is extremely corporate. You will be pigeon holed. Designers only do design. construction documents are done by a team in another office. Job captains are responsible for production coordination, with no design, client exposure or construction administration work. 4. Management gives you lots of work with unreasonable deadlines, then blames you for every error in the drawings even if it is not your fault. You are expected to work late most nights with no appreciation or even respect. There is a hostile environment where people are stressed out and pointing fingers, instead of helping each others and working as a team.
