Intern Architect Reviews
What is it like working as an Intern Architect?
July 2015
Intern?
Intern Architect:
Pros: My schedule is extremely flexible, and I'm working on small intimate projects, which is fun.
Cons: The work is inconsistent, because he/she doesn't work full time. I also feel I am under-compensated when I do similar work and work at a similar speed for an "architect" without a license who pays his or herself 7-8 times my hourly rate. I am only able to earn IDP hours because he/she has a contractor's license.
June 2015
Overworked Late Nights with high Stress Deadlines.
Intern Architect:
Pros: Training, Career development, interesting projects.
Cons: Too many late nights and long hours with no overtime pay.
June 2015
Overworked, Lots of Stress.
Intern Architect:
Pros: Flexible schedule, training.
Cons: High work load, long hours, lots of weekend and late night work.
May 2015
For the first couple of years, you learn everything new.
Intern Architect:
Pros: My favorite part about the job is seeing my designs take shape as they are being built as well as still learn something new every day.
Cons: The element I like least about my job is that, as an architect, one works to make others rich until one has their own license. Unfortunately, on top of having to pay off exuberant student loans, one gets paid very little until one has the license and, the license is very expensive and time-consuming to obtain.
February 2015
Intern Architect:
Pros: I enjoy designing, interacting with clients, and being out on the job site with the project managers and contractors. I enjoy the flexibility to work on my own and prioritize my projects.
Cons: I dislike being too trapped in the details to be able to experience the big picture of the design.
January 2015
Being a generalist.
Intern Architect:
Pros: As an architect you have to be a master of all disciplines. It is constantly a learning process as you are exposed to new products and new areas of the field. I love the challenge and solving new problems that arise every day.
Cons: I least like the politics and the lack of respect often received from other disciplines and clients.
December 2013
Its Substantial.
Intern Architect:
Pros: Visualization and creativity and design.
Cons: Technicalities and liaison.
