Join only if you want comfort, and no growth.
Pros
8:30 - 5 PM timing but only for non-support function Company policy and employee benefits, but after covid many benefits are gone, so average now, nothing extra ordinary. Good company to become a clerk Job security Timely payment of salary
Cons
Canon India, head office in Gurgaon is a 25 yrs old company mainly run by old timers. People who joined at starting 20 yrs back have major control, no space for new ideas, new style of working or being heard by mgt. Only top down culture, you are like a slave and follow orders. No hiring Senior manager and above level, so for those with 15yrs plus experience, no chance for you to come. Canon parent office in Tokyo sends expats at all levels in Canon India and the local staff is busy boot licking them. Earlier CEO was a headmaster, but the new CEO is more open and cool. Not a good company for people who want to grow, just a big name from outside. Typical sarkari culture, full of approval and permission for every small thing, no openess to hear employee. Perfect company to plan retirement. Not for growth. Junior staff is burdned with high work volume which is clerical in nature. Learning and development is nil. No HR initiative Company has no new initiative, no drive for new products, expansion. Salary as per competition is not at par. Not good in gender diversity, has preference for boys, men in key departments. LGBTQ is not a concept even heard of in company, forget hiring. First have gender equality. Senior behave like masters, misbehave with female employee. No consideration for young mothers. No flexibility, its a punishment. Most employees who have worked for long and become clerks, unable to find jobs outside since here there is no employee development. Company prides on long serivce and even give awards, but most employee either clerks or want growth but not getting job elsewhere.
