Canon Response
10y
It’s hard to respond without knowing when & where you worked as Canon EMEA covers some 45+ territories in the region. However, we’re actively embracing technology and tools that provide newer, flexible ways of working for the future for all 17,000 EMEA employees (e.g. Office 365/Cloud, remote working etc.): Indeed, some of our core solutions and services absolutely depend on it… Sorry to hear your experience wasn’t as positive as it could have been: There has been a huge investment in management communication, tools and resources to create a more open and collaborative working culture, and the results of our recent 2015 Employee Engagement Survey suggest that this has been very positively received.

Pros

Everyone is genuinely nice and cares about their jobs. Nice offices, and big corporate backing. Can't really say that the experience was negative but for high acheivers/ ambitious people probably not what you're looking for.

Cons

A ton of bueracracy, there are some many layers of approval that even the simplest things take months to get done. They never take any risks and ideas are very top down. Slow career progression and mediocre salary. Only way to progress is to hope someone in the same position retires or leaves.
