Canon U.S.A. reviews

Canon is not meant for people pushing their career track. It is a good solid place to work and have a job. There is little recognition, there raise plan is not fair. Your manager has little power, all is held up VPs on up. Thus your manager will generally just take marching orders. The parent company is slow with responses and CUSA has little power to create their own destiny. Sometimes vision is lacking, see the Ikon and Danka impact.

The atmosphere of the R&D is not young, and there is too much political drama. Unlike many other engineering firms, Canon lacks meal benefits. The company tries to make this up in other incentives. Unfortunately, the atmosphere is not very fast paced. Each individual has their own projects -- but some fail to see the need for the project while others fail to see the urgency. Many were unhappy about the perceived direction of the company. I am unsure of the situation, but I was led to believe that the president of Canon USA was new and had changed what had previously been "a very enjoyable place to work" into something that was less appealing.
