"The firm is client-centered and focuses on design that achieves the client's goals, but it is also socially aware and tries to make a positive impact on society with its work at the same time. There is strong support for sustainable design, which is getting stronger all of the time. It is a service the firm offers and makes its clients aware of without pushing it on the client."
"The ages of the partners in the firm range from early 60s to late 30s and everything in between. Employees, including interns, are given as much responsibility as they are willing to take on."
"The firm is very supportive and challenges people to do their best work. Young staff are given opportunities to provide input into design and are given key roles on projects as soon as they are ready to accept them."
"I love my job. The firm is doing good work and I work with very good people. There is a high level of energy here and the firm feels like it is on a positive growth curve. People are engaged and invested and as a result there are a lot of people bringing in work, which continues to fuel the firm's growth. Clients love the work we do and that is very rewarding."
