Pros

* Training opportunities if you push for them * Nice office

Cons

* Micromanagers thrive at Canon where middle managers try to make themselves look useful so as to avoid being part of the next large employee cull in the constant business cuts and so employees lose autonomy over their work as constantly challenged * Discrepancies across pay despite individuals doing similar roles in the same team and managers not pushing for their team to be moving onto the next pay grade despite reaping the fruits of their team’s labour. Everyone is expected to give 150% and do beyond their job role and get nothing back for it * Management stopping progress so they do not have to deal with having to recruit for vacant roles within their teams
