Pros

Good benefits, hybrid work schedule

Cons

Women are second class citizens at Canon. The glass ceiling is really thick. Look at their executive management and board - no women. They also try to lure you into the women’s group initiative - where you do a lot of work to change a culture, get no corporate recognition and assist in making women believe that they are treated equally. It’s a crock.

Pros

PTO is good once you include shutdowns and holidays. Beautiful campus.

Cons

Executive leadership is clueless as to what the level beneath them actual knows or accomplishes. Most managers are the weakest links in their groups. They are the least qualified and couldn’t compete with their employees in another environment. They are pushing a diversity and inclusion program, but look at their leadership levels (enough said). They do the bare minimum to try to look good. Fair practices are not the norm, unless you are friends or family of the people who keep promoting themselves. a new president comes from another country every so many years and depends on the corrupted leadership, so nothing ever changes. If looking for good practices and careeer opportunities, choose Canon until something else comes along much better.

Pros

Decent pay. Benefits day one.

Cons

Terrible managers. Double stands for certain employees. During end of year reviews managers are shocked that the employee surveys were terrible and let it show for the following 3 weeks. Raises are nonexistent and the harder you work the more work you’re given with no extra pay.
