Pros

The only pros are that you'll get a lot of hands on experience and gain exposure to a process of a project, but this is mainly because the firm is understaffed.

Cons

If you have any respect or appreciation for yourself and your profession, do not work here. The high employee turnover rate here is reflective of the hostile work conditions in the office. The head of the firm, after experiencing frequent job resignations, has come up with an unethical way of pursuing employees - he will agree to pay you at a ridiculously low rate as a trial period, promising to give you a reasonable raise after the trial period is over. However, most employees will quit long before the trial period is over, allowing the principal to profit from underpaid employees constantly. For those that stayed past the trial period and received the "reasonable raise" are still greatly underpaid...especially for working long and arduous hours under an unreasonably tyrannical boss.

thank for the review. last thing we want as designer is to work late and come back next day tired and robbed of missing creativity. most of us finish work on time and I consistently ask staffs to leave on time. we also provide bonus after each project completion. last bonus was a month ago and it was equal to 15 day salary.

Pros

Great culture, the company really makes an effort to make you feel a part of the "little family" that has been created.

Cons

It is a startup culture so you have to wear many hats and the work can fluctuate a lot, as in there could be some very busy weeks and some really slow weeks.

Pros

I'm currently working in UnSPACE. I read some of the negative reviews for our company. I have a little different opinion about that. We are doing every design process from initial design proposal to finished work. It is a good company to learn about the overall construction process. In terms of design, we always try to develop creative ideas for design and we've always discuss and share our own idea so that figure out the best way. This is what i want to do before I came to this country. It's a small company, we always try to learn more about design. I have two years’ experience in my country. but it's mostly different process compared with my country. i'm learning so many thing since I began to work here. i'm happy to participate many projects in New York as a member of the team. i'm sure that i can get more opportunities to improve my talent.

Cons

for me it's enough to work
