Pros

Firm's mission, environment, staff, and benefits. Being a smaller-sized firm, it provides a lot of potential for professional development/growth, and provides opportunity the for less experienced staff to be exposed to all aspects of the architectural and urban design process.

Cons

Some staff may prefer a more structured environment, it terms of hierarchy, while others appreciate the ability to take initiative and self-manage. This may create confusion at times.

Pros

Farr Associates will give you a chance to work with cutting edge sustainable practices and tools, and some of their staff are highly experienced - a great opportunity for entry or mid-level design professionals.

Cons

Communication is not always clear or even existent; "ships passing in the night" kind of environment. It is a demanding work environment (as most consulting firms are) so if you can't handle it, it won't be an enjoyable experience.

Pros

Interesting projects with opportunities for new ideas in sustainable architecture

Cons

Nonexistent communication between management among themselves as well as between management and staff, unclear goals and expectations, creating a situation where it is impossible to succeed because of lack of necessary information, feedback, or agreed upon standards and goals. I wish I was religious so I could wake up every morning and thank god I don’t work there anymore. By far the worst experience of my professional career.
