Project Coordinator
in San Francisco, CA

"I've worked for Skidmore, Owings & Merrill since 2020. I like that SOM can introduce a rising professional to a variety of complex projects, including those high profile international projects. There are many areas of concentration SOM can offer (design, construction, project management, legal etc.). It is a great firm to learn how things move and work in the large corporate setups. However, it sometimes gives very little responsibility while working on a project. You have to speak up for yourself if you want to achieve your goals."
