Pros

Great colleagues, supportive environment and lots of social events.

Cons

- Salary is rather low. - Although they brand themselves as a hospitality design firm, it is changing. 2/3 of projects in Singapore are residential/ mixed use- led by a mixed use specialist principal. - As all other companies, they are hungry for profit. However, so far, they refuse to reduce cost by having satellite offices and still retain a high overhead; salaries in Singapore are just not competitive.

Thank you for your feedback. We always appreciate the various perspectives and opinions. Our Americas studio, which includes Honolulu, operates across six offices, creating opportunities to produce exceptional work as one cohesive region. We also collaborate on resources and projects across WATG globally, when appropriate. Given the size of our Honolulu office, we have integrated it with our California studios. This has enhanced our delivery, management, and collaboration efforts. As a result, experienced leadership from our California studios works closely with the Honolulu team to deliver great projects. A huge added benefit is that our teams learn and grow through these cross-office interactions and knowledge share.
