Update Share

Negative: The reviewers expressed concerns about the company's outdated infrastructure, diverse work experience, and employee treatment.

Outdated Infrastructure

Reviewers Aldo Sims and Fcjbb have expressed concerns about the company's infrastructure, citing the need for modernisation. Aldo suggests that the company should allow more staff to get involved in different levels of work, implying that the current system is outdated and stifling creativity.

Diverse Work Experience

Fcjbb mentions that they worked on 14 unrelated jobs, which may be an oversimplification of what they expected from the architecture firm. They also mention that most people worked on related jobs to their expertise, suggesting that the firm may struggle to provide a diverse range of experiences for its employees.

Employee Treatment

Fcjbb also expresses disappointment with the treatment of employees, stating that they did not get the same appreciation and recognition as they do at their current company. This suggests that LRW may have room for improvement in terms of employee satisfaction and retention.
