Poor management causing lower levels employment - Anonymous employee CannonDesign Employee Review

We agree we are fortunate to work with many good people, but are disheartened to hear your thoughts about our company. Specifically, we’re disheartened because these frustrations could have been addressed with better communication. So for that, we’re sorry. First off, our issues with the federal government are behind us and were isolated to one former employee. Each and every time the federal government has contracted with CannonDesign it has found us to be a responsible contracting party. And today, we’re fortunate to have numerous ongoing contracts with the government. At NCCC, we’re proud of our work and are not a part of any investigation. We were hired for the project through a public bidding process, and the building that stands today demonstrates why we were selected — it’s a truly remarkable place. Finally, no company employees have paid country club memberships. However, as a firm, we do pay for every employee to belong to professional organizations for development and networking. For employees responsible for business development, we also sometimes reimburse expenses related to attending community events. But this isn’t a perk for upper management; we do this because our business depends on continues community networking and relationship building. The more troubling part of your review deals with the fact that you felt unappreciated. To accomplish the remarkable work we do, it truly takes a village, and we’re very sorry you didn’t get the acknowledgement you deserved. We will continue to work hard to ensure the contributions of every employee in our firm are celebrated. Thanks again for leaving us feedback and best of luck in your new career.
