Working Extra hours is expected regularly. Aggressive behaviour is common among management - Recensione dipendente - Architectural Designer presso Reddy Architecture+Urbanism

Some friendly colleagues in the London Office.

Senior Management needs to do better at communication. I had been working at Reddy for 7 weeks. I was settling in well and was looking forward to a long future with the company. I expected positive feedback at a review meeting, but I was fired for not meeting their performance standards. In both the meeting and the confirmation letter I got from HR, the reasons given were very vague and no specific evidence of poor performance on my part was presented. During my 7 weeks at the firm, I did my job - I kept the kitchen clean and tidy, I delivered the milk every morning, I put the dishwasher on/off, loaded/unloaded contents, I actioned and promptly resolved the issue of the ladies toilet which was not flushing properly and the loss of hot water. I attended meetings and took accurate Minutes. For the company's office relocation later this year, I undertook a detailed inventory of items, and I offered recycling ideas. I was also in the process of writing up an Office Procedures Manual. I worked closely with one of the Senior Architects (not involved in my dismissal) on CPD presentations, and he was most impressed that I had booked up CPD sessions for the remainder of this year.

Affords graduates opportunity to gain in-depth experience working on diverse projects for prominent public and private clients.

Underresourced teams and long long hours compared with competitors in Dublin. Limited opportunities for progression - tendency to source experienced candidates externally rather than developing and promoting internally. Will suit some but it's not for everyone.
