Pros

Good benefits, great co-workers and manager, manage your own territory

Cons

To many quotas, five to meet each month that is somewhat impossible. Upper management should ride with the tech for an eye opener.

Pros

Great culture and work life balance. Young and enthusiastic team. Great support from Japan headquarters

Cons

Due to the flat structure there is very little room for progression. It does help that hey are doing more secondments but they are more horizontal moves rather than vertical moves

Not worth the time..

Business Outlook

Pros

Great new HQ building in Brampton, ok benefits, employee product discounts

Cons

Old processes/systems, limited advancement opportunities in the team or between departments, strong company politics within management, subsidiary of US with no say in the way business runs and dependant on US for yearly budget, website, systems etc. In one word, Canon is "big ship that turns slowly" and reacts slow on technology market changes which makes the company not competitive. Salaries are below industry standard and no bonus structure which makes the total compensation even worse.
