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."Best position, if you are interested in moving forward in this career, is project manager. You get as much responsibility as you can handle, but don’t be too much in a hurry, because if you can’t produce what you said you could it can be a problem. If you do come through you get recognized and appreciated. Great supportive environment. Interns are given a fair chance to learn how to carry their weight, but if you are not up to speed in a year or so you probably will not last in the long run."
"We only work on projects for low income, undeserved communities. Multifamily housing, independent living senior housing assisted living, schools, shelters etc. Most of our projects are green, and more and more are starting to go after LEED certification."
"Yes, if you can show you have the potential we will definitely take your development to heart."
"The best thing about this firm is the people. There is tremendous mutual respect and camaraderie at every level. Great team work and mutual support. Never ever any back-stabbing or underhanded tactics. Everyone, from intern to principal, is treated with respect and valued first as a human being and then as a professional. Principals and project managers are approachable and responsive."
"The atmosphere is relaxed but productive. People not afraid to socialize, but by far the main focus is on getting the work done."
