Pros

Decent benefits, good amount of paid time off, nice campus with walking trail. They will close on snowy days.

Cons

Canon disrespects their employees, treating them like misbehaving children. They are hung up on punctuality, actually calling people out for being 8 seconds late. I was reprimanded once for leaving at 4:58 on a Friday. Never mind if you come in early, stay late, or take a short lunch, they don't care. Flextime is not allowed, nor is working from home. I was laid off recently during a 'reorg.' We were each brought down to HR, our things were fetched, and we were marched out the front door, driven to our cars, and made to leave campus immediately. Like criminals. More layoffs are rumored. People are just not buying cameras. There's not a lot of room for growth, and a lot of Japanese in upper management.

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.
