Pros

- Salary is very good. Canon pays a good amount and their bonus schemes are good as well.

Cons

- very toxic culture & env , If you are looking for the proper dutch culture where you can balance between profession & personal life then canon is certainly not that company. - Micromanagement at the peak. Some people literally keeps track of your moment , off time etc. - No learning , they are doing same work since 10 yrs and they dont want to get out of it . if you suggest a small change it will take 6 months to get started. - No scope for personal development . - You dont have flexibility to wfh , their company policies are very bad & not so employee friendly.

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.
