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.

Pros

Great benefits and time off. Beautiful building. Looks great on resume. Working platforms are pretty good.

Cons

Very little or small salary increases. Not much room for advancement, unless you are a man (preferably Japanese). No flexibility in work hours, penalized for being 30 seconds late. Very political work culture. Very hard to respect managers who are not stand up people both at work and in their personal lives. Micromanaging at its finest.
