Business Outlook

Pros

Big company with a huge global brand. Very good products from cameras through to production printing equipment and medical imaging devices.

Cons

Completely no idea how to encourage valuable people to flourish with an almost bullying atmosphere which is very toxic. Canon allows the BRAND to dominate their thinking, letting more discrete players win market share. I had to leave because I wanted a good work life balance.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great office building that fosters mobile working. Learning and development team have some strong and diverse training. Good salary packages. Good people and energy. Plenty of opportunity if you are willing to do the work!

Cons

Sometimes there can seem to be a lot of change which can get frustrating as this affects projects you are involved with. Typical corporate gossips are alive and well. We still don't leverage expertise across business silos making it harder to get experience across different business areas.
