Pros

Interesting mix of project types, wide network of offices provides access to many resources and colleagues with valuable expertise.

Cons

Speaking in regard to the Boston office only, the office is poorly managed and there is persistent turnover. The office leader does not treat each design studio equally and there is no loyalty to staff from management. It is not uncommon to see longtime employees, like myself of 12 years, to be laid off without a second thought. Long hours with little to no compensating reward is the norm as well.

Thank you for leaving us feedback. It’s never easy reading negative reviews, but we appreciate you taking the time to share your personal experience. Our goal in every one of our offices is to become an extraordinary place to work for all employees. The experience you describe is not the norm at CannonDesign; we do employee engagement surveys every two years, and based on the results of this year’s survey in Boston, employee engagement improved by more than 18% since our last survey. Regardless, we take your comments very seriously and we’ve passed them along to firm leadership for their review. We wish you well in your future endeavors.

Pros

Lots of corporate perks, ARE, remote work

Cons

Figure this out early. They are looking for strong corporate citizenship and follower of corporate culture. So, if you say the wrong thing around the water cooler, you will be seeing the HR soon. Be a zombie, get it right the first time and you will keep your job.
