Pros

Nice co-workers, encouraging middle management with limited empowerment.

Cons

Some Top Management still like to micro-manage. Old thinking, want employee to think out of box, avoid new idea or changes or take/steal employee suggested idea become his/her idea. Some management employees want non-executive employee to work more claim less.

Pros

Some nice people Nice office Subsidised Costa coffee

Cons

Constant meetings. Days were full of them, which meant that I couldn’t get any work done. Pay wasn’t great Management has no strategy. It’s a massively declining market and there’s no new strategy to break into any other markets. Canon seems to be blind to this… Redundancies are regular because it’s a failing market with no innovation Loads of restrictions from central which makes it hard to get anything done
