Easy hours, low pressure, NYCHA and NY Public School work. Not exciting, but safe. - Anonymous employee Purcell Architects Employee Review

The hours, location and autonomy to perform your job are decent.

There is a general lack of basic management practices and leadership, with one partner completely checked out, another uncooperative, negative and undermining. Projects are underwhelming, with much of the work being in support of the MEP primaries.

The work itself was stimulating and the pay pretty good

My manager was not equipped to train me and failed to hold themselves accountable for their mistakes, even noting they did not want to attend managerial training to improve on their communication. They were often reactive and many people in the team struggled to get along with them on a professional level. Any disputes were often heated and left me feeling anxious to go to work the next day.
