Interior Design Intern - Recensione dipendente - Interior Design Intern presso Faulkner Design Group

good company culture, great leadership, positive environment to learn

not applicable, no cons, learned a lot

Little to no overtime. Easy projects. Elevated sense of design for some projects. Excellent work life balance and awesome healthcare dental benefits. CEO is passionate about helping the less fortunate and will encourage employees to contribute to worthy causes. Generally pleasant colleagues with several people having tenure. Great view of highland park and downtown Dallas from every angle in office. Lots of employee appreciation events. CEO preaches gratitude and encourages others to self reflect on positives of work and life.

Upper management, with exception of one director and CEO, difficult to work with. Some of the ‘fun’ activities are a little odd to see in corporate environment, such as sharing hotel rooms with other employees. Technology outdated, with support outsourced and activity closely monitored to prevent an unlikely scenario of corporate espionage. No remote work capacity. Extreme paranoia about employees having samples of work for portfolio even when a written request is made. Some projects are great examples of mass produced recycled designs. Frequent employee turnover, likely due to factors above. Not much room for vertical career growth and salary increases, likely because that money is allocated to employee appreciation events, odd ‘fun’ events, and lavish lifestyle of C-suite.
