Japanese Culture and Hirachy NON AMERICAN
Engineers are fleeing in droves
No Real Engineering
Lack Solid Engineering Talent, Hiring Freeze Since 2020
Countless Failed Business Ventures
No Real Business Position (Cameras and Printers died many years ago)
They love Interns that they can turn into Engineer I but they dont last past 2/3 years because of pay and the obvious.
Smart engineers are running away like track stars, no new hires.
Business professionals are ruining the Canon brand into the ground with failed and desperate partnerships.
CVI always get the short end of the stick in business relations, Businesses always cut ties and projects end unexpectedly.
My bet is the doors will close, massive layoff AGAIN, and or closure/shutdown of some or all facilities by "MID to late 2026" (This business model isnt sustainable from a profitablitiy perspective)
