"Great place for young souls" - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Snøhetta

good workplace culture, good projects

could be intense when projects move fast

Outgoing designers and staff that create a social environment. Lots of knowledge and knowledge sharing between younger staff. Motivated projects and lots of time on a project to explore concepts. Looks good on a resume.

Specifically for US offices: When I started, the firm had 100 US employees, and 60 when I left. The leadership never adapted to run a large firm from when it used to be much smaller. The decision making was illogical and esoteric. There was very little opportunity to move up in the firm and little explanation as how to advance. The pay is significantly lower than other comparable firms. The inflation adjustments were irregular and sparse, while leadership provided little clarity on their decision making while trying to convince staff that they were being transparent. There was lots of gaslighting towards younger employees that this behavior is normal for a company. Little change actually done even when asked for feedback on company processes. Leadership is convinced that they have a diverse workplace while not actually having gender or racial diversity. They have a lot of “values” attributed to the firm but rarely practice them.
