Pros

The people are really nice. Quite a nice work environment.

Cons

Very frustrating to get anything done. Most jobs are split up into small fragments then split over different countries while trying to negotiate an apathetic Japanese management structure. The recognition and reward of employees is poor and is covered up by various HR schemes.

Pros

The best reason to work at Canon Europe is the Canon brand name, as it carries a lot of weight with future employers.

Cons

The technology is old and outdated, and there are few interesting projects. Many people have left or are planning to leave in the current economy and climate of uncertainty.
