Pros
The work is easy and the midtown location makes commute easy.
They have fun birthday celebrations.
The lower staff were nice people.
Cons
Passive aggressive seniors with big egos. Their senior project manager has a very tough guy attitude and just dumps work on you. Does not appreciate any opinions and solutions beside his own. Has horrible taste but thinks otherwise.
Seniors and principals are not together. Leaders for this firm had three people. One had a very indifferent personality, the other principal has control issues, and the last principal was always frustrated. I thought the frustrated principal was very talented and knowledge. I did learn a lot from him and thought he was very good, but it was difficult to watch him often argue with the other principal over design and procedures. I felt sorry for him, as he was wasting his talent there. Apparently he was in charge of design but not really.
I was often confused as to who I went to for approval. I would get comments and feedback from one principal and contradicting comments from the other, especially when it came to design questions. It was just a mess.
