Pros
• As a current student it’s rare to find a company like Path21 Architecture and Planning that is willing to give a student a chance to work for them. Let alone provide them with a full-time position after a year and not just a summer internship, all while during the pandemic. • Pandemic was hard on a lot of architecture companies but, Path21 Architecture and Planning having a large amount of their projects within the Healthcare industry never let anyone go due to the lack of work. • Opportunity to work on vast amount of different forms of projects from Healthcare where we see projects from large to small that vary from new ground-up projects to suite/tower renovation to small room renovations. Then to Commercial projects where we also work with large and small projects from new building projects to occupancies conversions and renovations. • As a smaller firm we get to see projects all the way through and are not just doing a small portion of a single project. Talking to friends that have recently graduated that work in larger firms, they only get to see specific parts of projects and are unable to get the experience all the different aspects of the projects design and construction phases. • We are given the opportunity to successfully advance our own career. From in-house training to guest speakers, we are given the tools for success. If there is an area that we would like to see more of if that’s from pricing exercises to finishes all we have to do is ask and we are given those opportunities within upcoming projects.
Cons
• Growing pains - comes with trying to grow a business but being on the smaller end of companies sizes everyone feels it here and there. • If you are not interested in any healthcare projects or being in hospitals not the best place to work as a large amount of your time will be within hospitals.
