Not too shabby, but not too exciting either - Anonymous employee CannonDesign Employee Review

Thanks for taking the time to leave us feedback. We’re glad to hear you’re happy with our work/life benefits and our approach to transparency. We’re always working to improve life for our employees, so keep the feedback coming! In regards to our projects, there will always be variation in scale and size; our firm is organized in a way that allows us to partner with clients regardless of what their challenge is. That means that sometimes our projects are monumental in impact, and other times they’re humble improvements to the current state. The level of collaboration is also typically tied to the difficulty and scale of the project; sometimes we have enough talent in one office to deliver a project entirely, while other times we need to harness the collective brainpower of our firm to collaboratively design the best solution (e.g. for the 3 million SF Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal, more than 180 designers worked together on the design). Regardless, collaboration is the bread and butter of our firm’s culture – whether it happens within a single office or across the firm. To your point about being pigeon holed, unfortunately, this is usually the result of someone being really good at what they do! If you feel you’re stuck in a bit of a rut, speak to your supervisor and let him/her know what your career aspirations are. We want you to be happy and successful in your role, and we’re committed to working with you to make sure that happens.
