Pros

Good benefits. I've also made some great friends working here.

Cons

Promotions and raises are for those in the 'clique'... as are bonuses and fringe benefits (like tickets, etc.). Upper level staff (VPs, Principals, etc.) are a joke - have no clue as to what goes into a project, clueless on time management, roles and competency of staff. Senior staff berates and talks down to junior staff. CannonDesign has a 'mentoring' program - that is a joke and only looks good on paper. The company spends who knows how much on marketing to their own staff - and not enough time or money taking care of their staff. Too many senior staff talking the talk but not walking the walk - stop marketing yourself and start actually DOING!!! HR is a joke - make a complaint against someone that is part of the inner circle and you'll probably get fired yourself.

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.
