Pros

Canon is totally process oriented company and that is why no customer of Canon is Dis-Satisfied with Canon and because of that Canon products gets sold on premium and not only for Customer, Canon is people oriented company, they make sure that all their employees are happy....

Cons

Canon is not at par as per industry for employees remunerations, but then also the culture is too good for work, and because of that here there is very low employee alteration ration, which makes little slow for individual growth.

Pros

While I was still working at Canon, I believed that there was only one good aspect to life at Canon Europe: the very international working environment. At one time the office in Amstelveen, located just outside of Amsterdam, had been the European Headquarters for Canon. During this time, there were employees from all over Europe who had come to work for Canon. This made work interesting, and it was a great way to boost one's teamworking ability and interpersonal skills. After I left Canon and returned to my home country, I realized that having worked for Canon opened doors to positions and companies that I would not otherwise have expected to be contacted by. This was the biggest pro in the end.

Cons

Management. Some of the worst management I had ever seen up to that point in my career. Working with apathetic people who were just keeping the chair warm until their holidays. An environment that sucked the life out of you (and everyone around you), so that all that was left was apathy and waiting for holidays.
