Pros
Free parking, coffee, fruits, and nothing else
Cons
Working at Canon has been a challenging experience due to a toxic environment created by senior staff. Many of the seniors exhibit bullying behaviour, racism, and dishonesty. New joiners are often treated like outsiders, while management shows undue trust in senior staff, even when serious ethical concerns arise. If you attempt to leverage your skills and experiences to contribute to Canon’s growth—something you highlight during the hiring process—you may find yourself bullied and embarrassed instead. Opportunities to share ideas or work on projects are virtually nonexistent. Training is inadequate, and if you take the initiative to learn on your own and propose suggestions, management may view you as a problem. New joiners often become scapegoats in this environment, which is rife with micromanagement. Constant email checks and scrutiny of your behaviour create an atmosphere of fear. Additionally, the office location is inconvenient, making it difficult to balance work and personal life—it's a 30-minute walk from the nearest train station. There are no social events to foster a sense of community. Overall, I would not recommend working at Canon unless significant changes are made to address these issues.
