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."There is very little hierarchy and information is always open. If you speak up about what you want, people try their best to get it for you (in terms of what projects or areas you want to work on). There are always boring or not so great parts about projects or those projects that you really don't want to work on in all firms, but they have to get done like all of them. WWA does a pretty good job of dispersing the good and the 'bad' so nobody gets all the grunt work. In all, my experience here has been great."
"We mostly do low-income housing and some work for fish and wildlife services, dormitories, commercial, etc. We try to be somewhat selective about our projects and not just take anything. If a project doesn't seem right in terms of the client, project type/set up, or integrity, we will turn it down."
"They are very selective about the people they hire."
"It's a very positive work environment 99% of the time. Everyone gets along pretty well and every so often someone will initiate a 'beer-30' where we knock off work at 4:30 to go get drinks somewhere and just socialize."
"Almost always I enjoy my day, but there are always those that occasionally go by a little slower, whether it's because I'm having to do a task that isn't my favorite or I am just not into it that day. I'd rate the overall feel about a 9 or 9.5."
"They [the management] definitely listen to everyone and there is very little hierarchy."
