Vantaggi

They work for big tech companies

Svantaggi

-This is a small office part of a big company managed in the old ways. Which also values the old ways and methods of work. - Unhealthy work habits are valued; - If you are a big talker, using impactful words with a bullying personality, you don't need to actually know anything or even work because that easily convinces leaders. VERY few people do the heavy lifting. - DMs and Directors are not adequately trained; colleagues and leadership do not accept or value different personalities. - They ask people with no experience to be leaders of millionaires projects, and if they don't "own it," they are seen as a failure. -Their billing system is shady. You have to charge everything to the project. (If I were the client, I would be highly pissed off by that). Very few times they will give you an admin number to charge internal office meetings "events." - Everybody is frustrated and burned out all the time. This office will crush your spirit, soul, self-confidence, passion for your profession, and creativity. -Unless the leadership, DMs, salary, and culture in general change, I would never recommend this place to anybody.

Vantaggi

Nice office, lots of “rah rah Gensler” events with food & booze, some nice people

Svantaggi

Where do I start…..some studios are TOXIC. Favoritism permeates every aspect of working here. It’s nauseating. There is zero loyalty, zero recognition for hard work (yeah you get a bonus but sometimes a kind word is needed). Oh-and never ever express an opinion that may be in opposition to “leadership’s”. Your private life, beliefs, politics and other personal things are fair game for letting you go. I’ve seen it happen-fired because someone expresses in a private conversation that one has ethical concerns regarding projects that are in the office (but in another studio/office) will get you fired. They will make up some bs about “work performance”, yet no conversation ever with anyone about “needing improvement “. Out of left field. Bye bye. Management tells leadership that they’d already “warned” the person-completely untrue. Hear later it was likely due to having concerns about a client/project. Lesson learned-shut up, work 12 hrs a day and be happy with the scraps you’re thrown. Also-egos galore! Unwillingness to take accountability for mistakes.
