Fantastic company to work for - Junior Architect/Designer Johnson Design Partnership Employee Review

Excellent hierarchy, superior management. No better place to work

Maybe not the best place for someone with limited experience.

Some interesting projects. Opportunity to project manage smaller sites. Nice view from the office of the Steam Train station. Close to the pub.

They obviously didn't read my CV as I stated I had very little commercial experience. On this basis I got demoted from senior to regular level technician within a few months. Obviously after this my enthusiasm was gone despite best intentions. Many other incidents occurred over my short tenure there so I finally decided to leave and (apparently) left on good terms. Only to discover on the arrival at me new job that JDP had refused to supply my new employer any form of recommendation despite promises that they would. 40hr week and overtime is expected - even if MD works almost part time. Wages are docked frequently without prior warning - No allowance is given for overtime in this regard. You are seen as commodities to make as much money for the MD and nothing more.
