Pros

Big company with a huge global brand. Very good products from cameras through to production printing equipment and medical imaging devices.

Cons

Completely no idea how to encourage valuable people to flourish with an almost bullying atmosphere which is very toxic. Canon allows the BRAND to dominate their thinking, letting more discrete players win market share. I had to leave because I wanted a good work life balance.
