Thanks for your input, you've picked up on a shared experience of many large multinational companies. In a firm of 18,000 people here in EMEA, it's true that things do sometimes move more slowly than we’d all like. You should be aware that there are a number of major transformation projects (at least 4 that I can think of) which are all about the way Canon EMEA empowers employees to do business in a bolder, more proactive and streamlined fashion. The results are not always obvious but there’s a very clear ambition to get better at communicating them.

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.
