Pros

Run. Run. Run. Ask why they’ve lost all the good people, apparently to the tune of 40% in the last year.

Cons

Too many to name. Leadership is running the company into the ground. The new president is an unapproachable person who clearly doesn’t know what she’s doing. Everyone fears her and the excuse is English is her second language. The CEO was apparently anointed. Not actually earned. Drinking is his way of making sure the company gets business. But yet we are desperate for business.

Pros

I cannot think of any pros.

Cons

-Management is toxic -Management is incompetent and dishonest -Management is unorganized -No growth opportunities/no clear path -Employee retention is laughable (over 25% of employees have left in the past year) -I do not think anyone knows what’s going on. Ever. -No work or opportunities for projects -Benefits are awful

Pros

The sodas are cold and the lunches are free.

Cons

The 'Management Committee' is a joke. The Design Studio consists of two guys working on the projects they want and everyone else is twiddling their thumbs. The new interns have nothing to do. HR puppets the talking points of the Principals. No real culture to speak of. The most bland company ever. No wonder 1/4 of the company have left in the last year. Location in Dallas is the worst..unless youre a Principal.
