Pros

Adequate compensation. Decent work / life balance.

Cons

Managements favorite motto, "people are our greatest resource" is comical in light of recent lay-offs due to consolidation and cut backs. Management likes to portray the organization as people oriented, but recent history proves people no longer matter. And their explanations for the corporate direction is couched in half truths and fibs. Once a great company to work for, the slide has been obvious and steady. The bean counters have taken over and the company is not recognizable from its halcyon days. I wouldn't necessarily say you shouldn't work here, but be wary of long term commitments and keep an eye looking over your shoulder; no one is safe except for the rule makers.

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.
