Pros

Good location in San Francisco. Good talent. International projects that look good on your portfolio.

Cons

High turnover. No transparency. Low pay (go by negotiation, not experience). Weak leadership. The firm cannot keep talent long and do not treat the staff professionally. Designers can do much more than drafting and redlining. Look around and see how other firms are treating and empowering their staff. And when employees leave, wish them the best of luck and appreciate their contributions. Don't say they will not find anything better than this and then badmouth them after they step out the door.

Pros

AE7QA is a great team with people from allover the world - this is one of the things that makes the company so unique. Everybody is friendly and helpful, and it is fairly easy to get a good work/life balance. Projects are both domestic and international ranging in scale and detail, making AE7QA an interesting work space.

Cons

AE7QA has been struggling with growing pains but has regained control. The somewhat old workflow hinders creativity as junior staff is left doing redlining rather than participating and contributing to the design process. Management is aware of this and is taking the necessary steps to improve the situation.
