Pros

Canon is a company that has a great group of individuals that work for the company, staff that love the products that they work with.

Cons

It is a company that does not always reward loyal members of the team, and sometimes the opportunities to progress within the company are limited

Thanks. Your comments are appreciated and we are indeed investing more in career development. Last year's deployment of our Development Hub was a significant milestone in communicating opportunities for career progression and talent management: It's an ongoing process with both HR teams and Senior Leadership actively monitoring and engaged in ways to reward and retain people across the business so do expect more to come.

Pros

Great Brand, good products but lost its way!!

Cons

European strategy centre is so far from away from customers it has absolutely no idea what customers want and need. The sales focus of the business is woefully poor and morale is dire.

We're confident that investments and changes shared with our employees are making a positive impact - but appreciate that we need to continue looking at the most effective ways to communicate, engage with and retain talent e.g. the Development Hub. Its an industry-wide challenge but please rest assured that there is plenty of effort placed on retaining, motivating and rewarding talent at all levels.
