good place to work - Art Director Canyon Design Group Employee Review

Being run from an accounting point of view has benefits. One of them is that they always made sure to pay their freelancers for work rendered. Checks were delivered on time and contracts are always honored by Canyon Design Group.

Being run from an accounting point of view, at times caused research and development to suffer when account managers did not know how to neatly categorize the time or assign it to a particular job. But this improved over the years.

One of the standout aspects of the company was its remote work structure, which offered flexibility and trust, allowing me to manage billing, accounts receivable and financial reporting with autonomy and efficiency. The team was small but mighty. I appreciated how approachable and supportive everyone was from all departments.

Because the company operated fully remotely, it could sometimes be difficult to align schedules or catch team members in real time. Unlike an in office environment, spontaneous collaboration or quick check ins require more planning and flexibility. With a lean team, workloads could occasionally become intense, especially for roles outside of project finance. Some colleagues had to juggle multiple responsibilities which sometimes led to longer hours or stretched bandwidth. The high volume of task flowing through a small group occasionally caused slight delays in communication. While everyone was responsive and committed, the sheer pace of work meant that follow ups sometimes took longer than ideal. Also there is not an official HR role which can cause a delay in receiving and processing of employee request.
