Pros

Owned by Toshiba, but operates quite independently. Good benefits. Outings are somewhat regular. Routes to talk directly to upper management if necessary, for any reason. Large mix of people, both in technical expertise and business units. My boss, his bosses boss, and pretty much everyone up the chain are pretty cool people. GM Jim Litterer seems like a straight forward guys-guy.

Cons

Company is only just starting to begin adopting agile across the board. Very traditional development model, but folks are starting to see the benefits to the change that are quickly coming. Almost 100% Windows shop (opinion).

Pros

Canon Medical Informatics was once best known for Vitrea Advanced Visualization, a groundbreaking radiology imaging platform that set the industry standard with its powerful 2D, 3D, and 4D tools. Vitrea’s success was driven by the remarkable team that built it—innovators who turned complex imaging challenges into intuitive solutions. This combination of product excellence and exceptional people was the company’s core strength and the primary reason it was acquired.

Cons

Unfortunately, the company later lost focus. After acquiring Karos Health, leadership shifted away from its core competency in advanced visualization and attempted to compete in the saturated Enterprise Imaging market with only a vendor-neutral archive (VNA). The most damaging decisions came during multiple layoffs, when the leadership team responsible for Advanced Visualization—the once profitable business—was cut, while leadership from the non-profitable Enterprise Imaging side was retained and still runs the company today. What was once a market leader in advanced imaging innovation has struggled under a loss of direction and misplaced priorities.
