Pros
An exciting multi-national industry. Cannon offered a fairly competitive salary and benefits. Associates at lower levels are generally friendly, talented and cooperative.
Kontras
Unfortunately, associates who are not in architecture or engineering positions are regarded as easily replaceable parts. Only a chosen few 'others' are acknowledged within the company's stifling 'members only' atmosphere. There is a definite caste system: architects, followed by engineers, then the remaining associates far below (the company web site provides a clear picture of the very limited professions that are promoted to the 'Principal' levels). As a rule, results are rewarded only if you are an architect or engineer - results are simply expected if you are not. It's a shame because the company does good work, but year after year excellent talent becomes frustrated and chooses to leave.
