Pros

Canon USA offers an above average benefits package which includes medical, dental and profit sharing 401K package for full time employees. While there is an above average benefit package, it lacks to meet the national average standards in salary requirements. The career advancement opportunities can be view as both positive and negative depending on each individuals point of view. Promotions are usually determined more on the years of service at the company rather than the performance being shown by the individual at his/her position. In regards to employee morale and satifaction for the company, it would be considered average.

Cons

Canon USA salaries are fairly on the low side compared to the national average. Canon USA is a japanese run company operating in the US, a fair share of the company are filled with japanese employees from Japan, at times there are cultural differences between the working methods and views on certain issues between american employees and japanese employees. The work and life balance is one sided, majority of the japanese staff average working hours is around 12 hours, this expectation is sometimes expected on the american employees. Communication style and technique between management and employees an area which need major improvements.

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.
