Pros

Bigger company, more projects which made you feel a bit more safe than the horrible way that FKP leadership ran the company. When other leaders were still there it was much better. They cut their entire C suite team and that began the demise of the firm. Diane and Holly are horrible leaders. At least Diane has a heart although she was a horrible leader as she was all about Diane. Holly on the other hand is all about Holly and nothing about anyone else.

Cons

Having to work with Holly was pretty much what sealed my decision to leave the firm. She is NOT even an Architect. She positions herself with clients so that they don't realize that. She is way over her head and it is apparent to everyone.

This was a difficult review to read and we’re sorry your experience with FKP / CannonDesign wasn’t a positive one. Merging two distinct firms can be challenging for employees on both sides, but in this case, both of our firms are stronger and better together. The FKP team has brought wonderful new leadership, ideas and opportunities to CannonDesign - and we’re excited for the future. While we are sorry you didn’t have a better experience, it’s unfortunate to see comments directed at specific individuals on Glassdoor. We have robust internal processes in place where such information can be shared confidentially. We strive every day to provide the leadership, resources and opportunities for our people to have great experiences with our company. 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.
