CallisonRTKL reviews

My lackluster review of working for this company may have more to do with the politics, impersonal culture and limited opportunities I experienced on my team. I sensed that perhaps it was different on other teams and offices. However, because of the lack of comraderie or opportunities to work across teams, I will never know for sure. In my experience, this is a very top down organization (at least in the D.C. office) that only opens doors for those who are willing to put in their time stabbing backs and stepping on toes to get there. Everyone else just plugs along with their marching orders. Not a very innovative or exciting environment.

Design work is ok, not great Lots of management training, spreadsheets and controls - not a lot of design conversation Favoritism runs high Big raises go to those who threaten to leave, otherwise it’s likely just cost of living People who have been here a long time, talk about the past like my pop pop talks about the good old days.
