Nice group, but... - Recensione dipendente - Landscape Designer presso PWP Landscape Architecture

- Supportive colleagues - Design Charette for the summer interns - The Bay Area Office visits program - Many field trips that allow you to see built projects - Very organized internship schedule: the office gave you the internship calendar on the starting day,

- Field trips were hosted during the weekends which might clash with your own schedule

They have a good reputation in the past so it is still considered a plus to have it on the resume. The two-week year end vacation is pretty good. Benefit is pretty generous, provided they are able to generate enough income that year.

This is an extremely top-heavy, white-male club, dying firm. All these partners couldn't bring in projects, and yet somehow managed to lose many of them. If constantly worried about losing your job, and forced to take a pay-cut as they deemed appropriate is acceptable to you, then this is definitely the place. This place is not recommended for long term career: uninspiring design generates zero income and kills creativity. All they've been doing is recycling failed/unrealized ideas and clumsily taking another shot at reselling it, which almost never works. The office loses so much money that they even put out a belt-tightening list to forbid employees "taking pencils". Think carefully if you're considering to join this one.
