Pros

Great brand name for your CV They're so desperate to retain people that it's near impossible to get fired New CEO is promising

Cons

Nasty case of the Dunning-Kruger effect through most of the organisation Has suffered a major brain drain in recent years Bullying, gender-based bullying and harrassment is rife HR is so incompetent it's amazing they manage to dress themselves in the morning Marketing organisation is lead by people who don't know how to market products (see recent online campaigns for examples) Benefits have been stripped back in recent years so they're no longer as attractive as they once were The culture and values mean nothing. Kyosei is an empty statement that is used to mask an attitude of bullying, selfishness and 'notmyproblemism'. Business is slowly collapsing due to being unable to keep up with peers and competitors in most markets. The products aren't bad, but how they're presented to the market is laughable.

Pros

I had a very positive internship experience, Canon really values their interns and lets them do all sorts of special projects. All employees are super kind and I would love to return there full time if there is an opportunity available.

Cons

Must drive to Melville (no train station in walking distance)
