The most enjoyable part about working at Jordan and Skala is the inviting team environment, from top to bottom!

This company has built a niche in 90% apartment building design and everything is worked out to be cookie cutter and the rest is quick comercial and retail. This takes the fun out of the design process. The margins are fairly low and hence the company survives on volume and makes promises for many unrealistic deadlines that cause quality too slip and errors to multiply. Local amangers are not focued on people and the office culture is not comforable.

The team culture is great, everyone is very warm and welcoming. I feel valued and appreciated and seen/heard. My team is very supportive and leadership is supportive. Everyone is very passionate about what they do and they do great work. It's a company filled with talented people who are motivated and dedicated to getting things done and getting them done right and at the best that it can be. It is a very motivating environment to be in and work in.

The sustainability team management is amazing. Management encourages learning and growth. Quarterly reviews are conducted and management regularly provides feedback, allowing you to know how you are doing in your position. Sustainability and MEP, while a part of the same company, they do not cross over unless working on the same project. 

The people I work with on a daily basis. The ability to come to work and make differentness in a growing market. I take great pride in trying to establish my best efforts to produce a quality product for our clients and JSE. My efforts to help co-ops and other team members within our offices is a goal of mine on a daily basis to help them as much as possible to make JSE a dependable company for our clients.

I enjoy the people I work with and learning new things every day from a variety of people. I also like the level of work we do. Being on so many projects and getting them done for the clients, always gives a sense of accomplishment when sending them out. I feel like everyone in a management position knows what they're doing and how to lead everyone correctly and efficiently.

Overall, there are many things that I value about working at JSE. The people are a great asset, and I generally feel that most are committed and care about the quality of their work. The technical knowledge and variety of types of work (for some) are also things that I value. I value the adaptability and have seen the company change as needed and for the better of the last handful of years.

The people at JSE are great to work with. There seem to be a lot of "growing pains", from what I see. Whether that's getting more work and needing more staff, or turnover and we need to replace staff. There are a lot of processes trying to be implemented at once without being fully vetted and the direction of workflow isn't explained effectively until it's too late and now we're "doing it wrong".

Good people work here. Cool to see jobs come to life from a concept, to full design, to actually existing. Fairly laid back atmosphere, ample parking and good office location. Pretty good benefits. Working in the industry can be challenging as there are so many people/parties involved and deadlines are constantly changing, but that is not specific to JSE.

Great colleagues, supportive work environment, great opportunities, good benefits. There are several very knowledgeable and experienced senior designers and leaders that are an asset and wealth of knowledge. They make themselves available to educate and mentor junior designers.
