Pros

Great new HQ building in Brampton, ok benefits, employee product discounts

Cons

Old processes/systems, limited advancement opportunities in the team or between departments, strong company politics within management, subsidiary of US with no say in the way business runs and dependant on US for yearly budget, website, systems etc. In one word, Canon is "big ship that turns slowly" and reacts slow on technology market changes which makes the company not competitive. Salaries are below industry standard and no bonus structure which makes the total compensation even worse.

Pros

Everyone is genuinely nice and cares about their jobs. Nice offices, and big corporate backing. Can't really say that the experience was negative but for high acheivers/ ambitious people probably not what you're looking for.

Cons

A ton of bueracracy, there are some many layers of approval that even the simplest things take months to get done. They never take any risks and ideas are very top down. Slow career progression and mediocre salary. Only way to progress is to hope someone in the same position retires or leaves.
