Some good, some bad - Mechanical Engineer CannonDesign Employee Review

For an integrated firm, coordination is a real struggle Hierarchy is unclear. There are a lot of "VP of _____" and it isn't clear who reports to whom. This results in direction coming from many different people at once. They take a lot of pride in training through the "Cannon Academy" but it is mostly geared towards ARE exams, and not in-depth training. Senior leadership tends to be absent a lot, which would be fine, except when they are away, they want you to make decisions and keep projects moving, but when they have time to look at a project, they tend to demand changes (even if those decisions were made early on in the project.) Tend to focus on the "initiative of the week" what we're supposed to focus on tends to change regularly PTO and holidays are less than typical in the industry
