Canin Associates Reviews

The firm is very top-heavy, and skews older with about 7 principals about 14 staff. There are a lot of differing opinions and miscommunications among the principals that ends up creating a lot of unnecessary work for everyone. High turnover in the architecture studio. The owner of the company likes to micromanage, is generally not open to new ideas or opinions, and will very rarely admit fault. There is a profound lack of trust between the principals and staff. Because of this, the company cannot grow as it should, and the product it produces is not as good as what the firm's competitors can produce, or what the talent in the firm is actually capable of producing. The firm has basically not been able to make the transition to a true 21st century workplace where creative energies, talent, and fresh ideas are utilized to create new and better designs.

1. management is terrible, they 'survived' the recession but that doesn't mean the team they kept have been worth it. 2. Trapped high-levels with salary they are not qualified to have, while keeping entry levels at below-industry standard 3. Have no growth opportunity, I had to FIGHT for my promotion simply because i was already doing all of the work 4. No cross-studio work, you fall into one and stay there
