Pros

Generally lovely people at peer level and nice office environment. Great brand and culture on camera side of the business.

Cons

Rapid loss of talented and valuable employees due to non-consultative management style and failure to realise the value of employees (print business). When very good employees have resigned, senior management have arrogantly and short-sightedly announced "we don't want them here if they don't want to be here" rather than trying to understand the cause for the rapid turnover. Also considerable loss of clients by Canon Business Services over a number of years, again due to lack of willingness to listen and change.

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.
