Pros

The staff and working environment are great. Brilliant with flexible working if you require it. Great benefits package and pension.

Cons

There are lots of processes and procedures which make some things less personal. Lots of changes in ways of working which can be frustrating. Hard to progress in certain roles.

Pros

Good structure. Good salary. Ethical.

Cons

In 2014 Canon underwent major changes and unfortunately as a result many staff were retrenched, I being one of them. From the time my retrenchment was made known, I was left on my own with no leadership. My manager just stuck me away somewhere and didn't even bother to seek me out on my last day.
