- This is a great place to work...it has leadership that sets the firm's direction, an organizational structure that supports me and my projects and the opportunity to accept as much responsibility as I am competent to accomplish. - The firm is very strategic in its planning...they purposefully chart their course yet plan to adjust to market conditions and special needs. It is great knowing where the firm is going and how I fit into the bigger picture. - Diversity in project types is great...I worked in one market area for a while, but when its business turned down I was able to work on projects in another market. - I feel like part of the team...I enjoy knowing my abilities are needed and I am making a difference. - It's great to be with a firm whose leaders walk their talk...not only are their ethics and standards very high, they really want what we do individually and collectively as architects to make the world a better place, whether through sustainable design goals, community involvement... - This is a wonderful time to be an architect...This humanizing design approach is really great!...Our process identifies key issues so our designs can convey who the client is, help reinforce their company's business strategy and contribute to their success. - The collaborative team approach is awesome...Our cooperative partnering attitude internally and externally really works well. We solicit input from everyone then reach consensus - all in an effort to identify the best ideas so we can make our projects the best. - It is like family here...in the sense they care about me as a person and not just an employee. Whether it is balancing benefits and employee costs, ideas concerning the employee review process, flexible work hours, ideas for our monthly socials...they listen. - They are interested in my personal growth and well being as well as the firm's...They offer continuing education programs, mentoring, resources and a good variety of options for advancement.
