Pros

Working for Canon was one of the best jobs I ever had. Treated their employees with respect. Generous bonuses, benefits and off site activities.

Cons

Unlike other companies that I have worked for, Canon did not have much in the "Cons" area. I put in many overtime hours because of deadlines and schedules, but that is typical in any development based companies.
