Pros: I liked the hybrid work model; two days WFH was nice for getting focused work done without the commute. It helps with balancing personal appointments, which is a big plus for a mid-sized firm like this. You do get exposure to some cool interior design projects too.
Cons: The 'flexibility' often means staying late to meet client deadlines, especially for senior design roles. Sometimes, you're expected in the Los Angeles office even if your work could be remote. It feels more like 'work anytime' than 'work anyplace' sometimes.
Advice to Management: Management should really clarify expectations around 'flexibility.' It'd be great if WFH days were consistently respected, especially when we're deep into interior design project documentation or material sourcing, not just for quiet tasks. Give design associates more autonomy.
