What’s it like to work at JLA?
“Everyone on our team is down to earth and approachable; there are no big egos here. I feel like everyone is willing to help me and support my career development.”
Megan B.JLA Team Member Since 2019"I feel like I work ‘with people’, not ‘for people’ at JLA. There is a laid back, yet productive atmosphere. People can be themselves here."
Sal I.JLA Team Member Since 2017"As a project manager, I really value the depth of knowledge of the JLA staff and the collaborative format in which we operate. Everyone brings their unique perspective and ideas to the table to allow JLA to produce exceptional designs and service at every stage."
Marc O.JLA Team Member Since 2017“Besides having a great team to work with, I love that I get to work on something new every day. I’m constantly learning and growing.”
Andy L.JLA Team Member Since 2014"A work / life balance is really important to me and I really appreciate that good relationships are crucial to the culture of JLA including those with your colleagues, your consultants, your clients, and your community. "
Leah T.JLA Team Member Since 2012"The people here are all interesting to talk to and helpful at work and outside of work. Plus, each project is interesting and unique, and I usually learn something new during each project."
Camron B.JLA Team Member Since 2017"At JLA, I'm loving my experience. At a smaller firm, you're more hands-on. You don't have as many people, so you're covering more aspects of the design, from sketching and schematics, all the way through construction documents."
Rafeeq A.JLA Team Member Since 2018"I enjoy the JLA culture that emphasizes a 'TEAM', 'WE', 'OUR', approach to everything."
