1. The office environment is good.
2. There are many architecture-related books available to read.
Other aspects of the company:
1. There is a scheduled end time, but every day you have to wait for the architect to say, “You can leave now,” before you can leave. The delay varies from approximately 30 minutes to an hour and a half.
2. The overall progress of projects is not clearly explained, so it is impossible to manage your own work; you can only draw according to one instruction at a time.
3. The architect speaks very sarcastically, often forgets what they have said, and tends to be hesitant and change their mind repeatedly.
4. There are no bonuses for the three major holidays and no overtime pay.
5. The work area is in the same office as the architect, and the architect rarely goes out.
6. There are surveillance cameras.
7. To avoid disturbing the architect, employees are asked not to chat or talk during working hours. The architect will get up and ask, “Is there a problem?”
8. The floors above the second floor are rental suites. When necessary, employees may have to go upstairs to clean, which may delay work progress.
9. The turnover rate is high.
10. Work procedures and drafting methods should follow the architect’s habits as closely as possible; the architect’s habits are considered the best and most efficient.
11. Compared with architectural projects, there are more interior-design projects.
All of the above are situations that occurred during my employment. I do not want to criticize the shortcomings; perhaps you who are reading this strongly agree with the architect, in which case there may not be any other issues. Unfortunately, my personal stress tolerance was too low for me to continue working with the company.
