Pros
I was a former employee of MMA. It's a great place to work and grow with. Here are things that I enjoyed working here: 1. The chance to work on the commercial projects from big brands to gain valuble experience. 2. Local projects to get you connected to people. 3. You can get familiar with a wide range of project types- from conceptual design to construction documents, from k12 to retail to healthcare facilities, from landscape to interior. 4. I loved the energetic vibe brought by people diversity! I was lucky enough to work with a group of people who were professional and easy going at the same time which made us a great team at the time. I definately appreciate the friendship I got from this job! 5. My supervisor/company owner/principal Gabe is one of the most passionate, experienced, innovative architects I've ever seen. He is a great guy and so as his little furry buddy Astro. 6. The location is a huge plus! It is very close to Asbury Park and beach. I still remember in summer lunch break we hung out together on the boardwalk. There is a nice work life balance here. 7. Lots of lunch and learn that gave me lots of opportunities to keep pace with the latest industry info.
Cons
1. If you are a city lover, the location won't work for you. (But there is a DC office as an option.) 2. If you are interested in working on projects outside of US, there is not much of oppurtunities.
