Working at [HEM] has taught me so much. There are opportunities to learn from all of the Architects in the office & I have worked closely with the directors on every project. [The Practice] has a great attitude towards helping you to learn, offering study leave & the opportunity for site visits, sitting in on projects reviews from the other teams, as well as a general collaborative design ethos…
