Canon reviews

- Depressingly basic for seasoned IT workers. - Low level of knowledge among many of the people holding trainings on their topic of "expertise" with just one or two exceptions. - Poor departmental management with two team leads that are incapable of managing and supporting a team of ~30 agents between them. - Taking pride in having an internal helpdesk when in reality only the simplest incidents such as password resets are handled in-house and close to 40% of incidents are handled via outsourcing to India. - Over reliance on virtualization, web based and cloud solutions at the cost of security and productivity and intent to implement more third party solutions in the near future. - Chaotic IT infra structure with for example over ten different RDP terminals for active directory where one would suffice had the infra structure been better planned. - Chances of growth/promotion within the department are nearly non-existent. - IT staff only receive basic mobile phones belonging in 2003 while the rest of the company receive latest generation iPhone, Samsung and Nokia smart-phones. - Data plan on company phone is very limited and extremely expensive if exceeded. - Long term plans indicate that the internal helpdesk in 1-2 years will almost exclusively be doing catch and dispatch.
