Pros

Opportunities to work on large, international projects. Good benefits and lots of PTO. Supports professional development by paying for exams and giving bonuses. Beautiful office space. In general, great people to work with.

Cons

Virtually no women in architecture/design senior leadership and management roles. This leads to lack of mentors and sponsors for young women looking to advance their careers within the firm. Majority of women eventually move on to other firms after watching all their male peers get promoted around them. This is a huge problem in the profession in general but particularly bad at CallisonRTKL.

Pros

* Opportunities to work on international projects and for new employees to freely share their ideas. * Leadership that not only guides design but also supports employees in becoming better professionals and people. * A great LA office environment with a fitting salary. * An office team with excellent skills and knowledge, and great teams that are easy to work with.

Cons

It seems that incorporating more trend-forward designs could lead to even better results, but as a newcomer, I found it challenging to overcome the established methods and the specific direction and style clients wanted. Nonetheless, they consistently delivered solid outcomes.
