Pros

Great people, genuinely multi-cultural, and a collaborative working environment - I've made good friends, and laugh every day! Canon is making big changes, but still trying hard to stay true to its values and do things in the right way. If you're proactive and a bit patient, you always have the opportunity to do and learn something new.

Cons

A very flat structure means that your job title won't change for a long time, even as you learn and develop new skills, so if you're expecting promotion every 12 months this will frustrate you. It's a collaborative decision-making process, but this takes time, and a lot of talking... so you'll need to be patient, and good at building relationships.

Pros

Everyone is genuinely nice and cares about their jobs. Nice offices, and big corporate backing. Can't really say that the experience was negative but for high acheivers/ ambitious people probably not what you're looking for.

Cons

A ton of bueracracy, there are some many layers of approval that even the simplest things take months to get done. They never take any risks and ideas are very top down. Slow career progression and mediocre salary. Only way to progress is to hope someone in the same position retires or leaves.
