Fun and Good Management - Intern Method Architecture Employee Review

Method allowed me to get a well rounded experience as an architecture intern. They are a big firm with a small firm feeling.

Mostly only revit work, limited mentorship.

Pros: - awesome work peers - break room filled with snacks - vendor product presentations - collaboration - unlimited PTO (this is at the discretion of your studio manager) - they make you feel included in many ways from work, to outings, etc.

Cons: - changes for their drawing standards happen way too often - consistency in communication lacks with upper management - the firm's goals are unrealistic for their lower chain of command - unlimited PTO is questionable - no compensation for any overtime hours (part of having "unlimited PTO") - upper management has their favorites and they make it very clear - major lack of transparency and dishonesty between employees creates mental exhaustion and creates unnecessary tension - expectations of one's own work has to go over and beyond to make it through the tough times at this company & to be noticed as a person - upper management is unprofessional in many ways
