Good working environment, Bad Management and Admin ResponsibilitiesThe good thingsThe workload and the projects being handled are up to standard with most design firms. The working environment and co-employees will make you feel like family and help you be better. The immersion and experience is worth it for someone who wants to work for a design firm that will test all your knowledge and skillset. The work is no problem at all.
The challengesThe hierarchy of management should be clear and direct. No other parties or persons not involved in the design process and presentation to clients should be able to interfere with the design firm/team's execution and strategy. No real appreciation for work being done.
