Glad to hear that attempts to shift our working environment in a positive and balanced direction are working! Career planning should be a joint effort with your line management so if you're not getting the support and input that you feel you want, please do reach out to your local HR team and/or look into the resources we're continually adding in the Development Hub rolled out to all our EMEA employees.

Pros

The brand. People instantly recognise the canon brand whether that's on a camera or paper team. They know who you are and they know our product is class

Cons

Corporate structure. Not much room for progression unless you know someone that knows someone etc. Sometimes can get a little pushed down with work load with no sight of help or offers to help.

Pros

Good benefits for employees overall

Cons

Systems are a mess and has endless problems with it. It is frustrating to work on and it has come to a stage that there are more problems than solutions working on it. The other problem is that management don't listen to their staff. They approach a "I don't want to hear it, fix it yourself" attitude and that is not always possible and very bad for business.
