      Pros

      very family oriented, fun environment and good work life balance. humble people and friendly place to work in. well...... used to be

      Cons

      new management in sales department with many "new blood" changed the whole nice culture of Canon. Morale is low for many of the existing staff and environment has suddenly become very political

      Pros

      Some of the benefits are good or above the consensus e.g. the pension. The canteen at Stockley Park is consistently good. No one cares enough to keep tabs you you so you can pretty much do what you want.

      Cons

      Canon Europe is almost a comical stereotype of all that is wrong with big companies. The atmosphere at Stockley Park is like a mortuary. Low morale is endemic. The work done by Canon Europe is often irrelevant to the countries (NSO's). The NSO's take a dim view of the profligate waste that is Canon Europe e.g. they often question the value that Canon Europe delivers. The senior management team in the large do not care about their employees. Canon marches very much to its own tempo - the length of time it takes to get even little projects off the ground is simply ludicrous - it takes about 2 years to make the changes that were needed 2 years ago. If you are ambitious or want to make a difference, you are wasting your time even looking at Canon Europe.

      Canon Response

      Sadly it looks like we’re too late to make a positive impact on your impressions. However, our engagement surveys – sent annually to all EMEA employees and administered by a neutral third party – suggest that actually people at Canon do recognise and appreciate both the senior management support they get and the opportunities that exist: in 2015, 76% said they trusted their manager and 62% agreed that Canon is making the changes it needs to be successful in the future. There is also plenty of evidence to suggest that we successfully recruit, retain and motivate some truly exceptional people. However, Canon isn’t the same place it was even 5 years ago and it will doubtless be different again in 5 years time – and that’s what makes Canon an interesting and challenging business to work in. Whether you subscribe to that view or not is fine - it’s not always right for everyone. Best of luck with your future endeavours and I hope you find somewhere you can realise your career ambitions, wherever they may lie.
