Pros

Canon has a decent health benefits plan. Stability and lovely 35 hour work weeks (matching Japanese parent company). Colleagues are generally very nice people to work with. Solid company but leave any serious aspirations behind.

Cons

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.

Pros

Great company with advanced training opportunities and a global footprint. Taught me everything I needed to know to do my job in a clear and concise manner and also gave me the tools and references to get the work done. Always had support if I needed it on any task. Respected my time and energy. If you love technical work that people actually appreciate this is an amazing gig.

Cons

Long commutes in city traffic combined with median level pay for the job role kind of take away from the great things Canon does in other areas.

Pros

Decent starting pay, excellent experienced pay, excellent medical benefits, great culture, industry leader, best tech, best everything. If you're a quality contributor, you will get plenty of overtime.

Cons

None to really state. High volume markets will require overtime, which is a pro or con depending on your needs.
