Quotations
The quotations below represent the opinions of respondents to the firm survey. These individuals are unrelated to InsideArch. Their opinions are based on their individual experiences and in no way reflect or represent the views of InsideArch or its employees. Other opinions, including contrary opinions, may exist."The people that do the best here are the ones that speak up and let management know what it is they want to do. If you enjoy a certain aspect of design, ask to be involved in it."
"Array is a growing Firm with room for everyone to advance."
"I feel the best position at this firm is any position you can get. The opportunities to work on challenging and exciting projects are available at every level of employment. The potential for growth is only limited by the desire to do so. No matter what position you begin working with Array, employees are encouraged to improve their abilities to advance within their level of expertise or to broaden one's professional experience within various aspects of the firms services provided."
"The firm specializes in healthcare design and does a good job of staying abreast of the trends that are impacting healthcare design; i.e. design that supports family-centered care."
"Array has always been focused primarily on Healthcare related projects. All of the principals have been involved in the Healthcare field for over 20 years. A few years ago, we made a bold change to modify our business plan to limiting our clients to exclusively Healthcare. With augmented services such as planning, advisory services, interiors, and design, Array has been able to provide strategy-driven solutions to our clients. We have emerged as one of the premiere firms in the country specializing in solely in Healthcare Facilities Solutions. Array takes pride in the services we provide our clients and realize we are only as good as our last project. That's why a large percentage of our work is for repeat clients."
"The firm recently changed names and rebranded. At the same time, there was a reorganization of senior management. This provided an opportunity for management to look within and promote staff as well as focus on the future to develop other staff."
"One of the reasons I joined this firm was the potential I saw for advancement both in my professional career and within the company. The partners have invested their careers in creating the reputation ArrayHFS has today in the Healthcare field. They possess the wisdom to realize the legacy can only continue if they pass their wealth of information on to other employees. With that in mind, Array offers several opportunities for advancement, no matter what position you start in. The limits for growth are only set by an employee's desires. Array supports IDP and has an active mentoring program which encourages seminar attendance and personal advancement. All this effort is in hope that the employees of today will rise to be the leaders of tomorrow."
"I enjoy the people I work with. Everyone has good energy."
"The format of the office is designed to foster growth and challenge individuals. A design studio concept is incorporated on projects and project teams are established specifically to compliment employee's strengths and weaknesses. The object is to expose everyone to various positions and skill sets in order to promote communication and development of personal skills. This concept allows everyone to be a teacher and student at the same time. The end result is a quality product and more experienced employees."
"We recently moved into a new office and management did a great job of creating a place that is comfortable to work and looks great. I enjoy coming to work everyday!"
"The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed but the work effort is focused. I am excited to get to the office because there is always an interesting project the office is working on. The interaction between project teams and co-workers provides a stimulating level of energy during the day. People tend to concentrate on producing a quality product instead of watching the clock."
"Keep up the positive momentum!"
"If I had to tell management anything, I would tell them to keep it up! The structure of the office has allowed Array to properly manage all aspects of the firm, from design focus, marketing, to financial investing. They have been open with their corporate strategies and business plan to the entire firm and are currently maintaining that plan."
