Pros

Incredible mentorship, friendly environment, and great benefits. They work on a flexible hybrid schedule which is great for people with families. If you are hard working and take initiative, leadership will be eager to see you succeed. This was an excellent firm to work for right out of college. The interiors group in particular is a welcoming group of designers who are always happy to help out. The interior's leader, Dale, is an incredible designer who takes pride in his work and loves to mentor.

Cons

Lack of creative projects. I would recommend this firm only to designers looking for healthcare and education experience. Some projects can be understaffed and require those teams to work long hours.

CannonDesign Response

Thank you for this review! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed your time with us in NYC, and we agree Dale is a wonderful mentor and teammate. The healthcare and education sectors are a big focus of ours in NYC, but we’re always looking for new opportunities to pursue creative projects in other sectors. We’ll continue pushing on that front, and we wish you well in your future endeavors.
