Avantages

Great projects, great city to be exposed to. High profile clients, designers and consultants. Beautiful office space to work in. You can get any job after this, and can get into any grad school you want.

Inconvénients

Extreme hours, horrible work environment, people tend to be mean spirited and beaten down due to workload and hours. Very little mobility within the office, very hierarchical, Norman Foster is god. Once you are in the door, very difficult to get pay raises, you have to threaten leaving. You can't choose projects you are working on, even if you have experience on said project. Partners tend to be very egotistical and will expect/make you work extremely late nights (1am-4am) and weekends. Worked there for a number of years, probably only had 10-15 weekends to myself

Avantages

I had an excellent experience with Liam throughout the process. From the first point of contact to the final offer, the communication was timely, respectful, and transparent. The interviewers were professional and kind, asking insightful questions while also creating a comfortable environment.

Inconvénients

The start date wasn’t clearly defined, however, I understand this was due to the nature of the role and internal timelines. Everything was resolved with good communication.
