Canon Response

Hi and thanks for your recent comments. Sorry to see that it looks like you may have left the business just around the time we recently announced a new Employee “Development Hub”. This is in direct response to feedback like yours & shared in our employee engagement surveys. Please rest assured that Canon is definitely listening and this is one of several initiatives we think will put better emphasis on career development and opportunities for all our EMEA employees.

Pros

Good place to build on sales skills and work with some talented and friendly people in a positive and successful team, at least mine was.

Cons

Management changes strategy too often and can at times do a little too much finger pointing when the latest new approach proves unsatisfactory.
