Arjun Desai

Cruel and unusal An unprofessional, stifling, and humorless atmosphere. At a basic level there is a lack of trust between leadership and staff. Every action taken as an employee is interrogated as if one is trying to swindle the office. A bizarre behavior which sets an unsettling tone from day one. The office environment is not relaxed and barely humane (No PTO in the first year). One feels uncomfortable leaving their desk to get lunch or coffee. Expect to be questioned immediately after taking lunch as to why the tasks you have been assigned are not completed yet. Office culture or morale does not seem to be a priority for leadership. There is a lack of communication between the two partners for which the staff suffers. Staff has to follow separate design visions with no guidance, which is confusing and time consuming. Changes and options are expected at the drop of a hat and long hours are the norm. Internal design meetings devolve into name calling and partners stomping out. One's intelligence and integrity are called into question at every turn. Completely unprofessional behavior towards by partners leaving staff berated, lost, and demoralized.
