Most work days were 8 hours long, although there would be the occasional day where you needed to stay late to finish your work. Management was fantastic and was very understanding; you were able to be flexible with your work hours as long as you were able to complete your work. Management was also very involved on the projects and very positive. 
That particular office only consisted of approximately a dozen people, including myself, so it was a very close group of people. Majority of the existing staff had been working together for a decade or longer. The office would occasionally get a nice surprise from the company, such as a visit from the local icecream truck on a Friday afternoon.
All of the staff members were more than willing to teach me about topics that I hadn't had any exposure to preiously and were all very supportive.
All-in-all, it was a fantastic work experience.

The program management division is phenomenal. Managers provide positive and constructive guidance while expressing complete faith in the individual's professional skills. The company is growing fast, very fast! Yet, Division leaders and HR are still able to keep up and onboarding runs smoothly. The company has many team building activities and family oriented events (family zoo night, fundraisers, charitable events etc) The management is fully transparent with project planning and offers a town hall format so all employees have a voice. Overall a great place to work.

This is a great place to work!
The people here are very nice and collaborative, which creates a positive work environment. I’ve been working here for over three years, and overall, it has been a good experience.

As an Architectural Technician, I work mostly with Project Managers, supporting them with drafting and technical documentation.

A typical day in my role can be summed up as: draft, draft, draft! Naturally, when deadlines approach, things can get stressful, but that’s part of the process. Despite that, this is a good company to work for, with a supportive and team-oriented atmosphere.

The growth pains of the company were reflected in poor supervision and lack of proper direction. Although i brought in almost $100,000 in fees per month i was not invited to attend weekly project scheduling meetings so i had to go through others to do so. Even then my projects were understaffed and i was directed to mislead clientele to explain why project production was not as planned.

Being able to work at a company that provides such a wide range of project types has really helped me find where I want my career to head. This is a unique opportunity that other firms do not offer. The full service range allows me to stay at the company no matter where my interests head. My current job role was something that came naturally and is a new service the company provides as the markets and need change in our communities. I'm happy with my decision to work at a company that provides opportunities and areas for growth.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The scope of projects keeps it interesting. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Budgets are always too small, so everything is rushed. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
They don't seem to care about employees. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful. Every day is stressful.

LaBella is a typical A&E firm primarily focused on short term return on investment.  Their focus on quality and safety is secondary to billable hours. In short, their main concern is billable hours.  If a persons assignment is up and there is no other work for them then they are released from employment.  I find it interesting that LaBella chooses release people who they went to the expense to on board and train rather than developing and recruiting them into other assignments.  

They offer various types of training including zoom lunch-n-learns and online videos frequently.

Lots of group activities are planned throughout the year for people to participate in.

Dedicated to their employees and very supportive.



A company that provides a great opportunity for anyone looking to grow in their career.  They provide immediate trust in their employees and give employees the flexibility they need, as long as they get their work done.  Overall a great place to work with great leadership that consistently steers the firm in the right direction.

Progressive consulting company assisting companies and individuals with a variety of services ranging from business development and client acquisition to personal financial planning. Highly focused in IT services, project management, workplace employee benefits and event planning.
