Pros

I was made to feel relaxed and at ease during the entire recruitment process with Canon, from my initial call with HR all the way through to my final round interview and presentation. The process was a pleasure to be part of and the way I was treated at each stage made me feel relaxed and allowed me to give my best. The communication with HR was open and honest, which I really appreciated. I was contacted after every stage of the process to ask how I thought it had gone, which I am used to from a recruitment consultant but not necessarily from an internal HR team. I thought this was a nice touch. None of my interviews were at all intimidating, I felt like the people interviewing me wanted to get the most out of me rather than try and ask difficult questions for the sake of it (which can happen). I was motivated by the company and the scope of role from the beginning, but it was the entire process and the people involved throughout that made me decision to accept the role really easy.

Cons

Yet to join the company yet so I've only got positive things to say so far!

Pros

Great place to work and also have time outside of work for other activities. Supervisors and managers were great and very easy to work for.

Cons

Repetive work can be boring at times. Ability to throw you on a different shift without much warning is really frustrating . No ability for overtime
