      Pros

      Some interesting projects. Excellent in-house resources of a full-service global design firm.

      Cons

      Prima donna designers who think the firm is more special than it is (HOK designs a lot of jails and prisons). Low and inequitable pay among longtime staff. Horrendous work/life balance. Significant turnover around the 5 year mark due to extreme difficulty with advancement. Massive cyclical layoffs.

      Pros

      Great overall office culture in Atlanta. Health benefits are average for a larger firm. Good mentorship program and lots of tools at your disposal form day one. Structured hybrid 2/3 work schedule.

      Cons

      Favoritism in Atlanta Interiors is evident. Exclusionary in some regards to people who don't quite fit in. Resource planning is fly by night and unstructured, causing some people to be over worked while others just coast by. Work agreements between office locations prevents ease of resource scheduling. Pay is sub-par for a firm of this size. CEO partnership is a joke, old school mentality keeping the firm from having a single female CEO. Path to advancement is not clear at most levels.
