Slowly falling apart

Pros

Great brand name for your CV They're so desperate to retain people that it's near impossible to get fired New CEO is promising

Cons

Nasty case of the Dunning-Kruger effect through most of the organisation Has suffered a major brain drain in recent years Bullying, gender-based bullying and harrassment is rife HR is so incompetent it's amazing they manage to dress themselves in the morning Marketing organisation is lead by people who don't know how to market products (see recent online campaigns for examples) Benefits have been stripped back in recent years so they're no longer as attractive as they once were The culture and values mean nothing. Kyosei is an empty statement that is used to mask an attitude of bullying, selfishness and 'notmyproblemism'. Business is slowly collapsing due to being unable to keep up with peers and competitors in most markets. The products aren't bad, but how they're presented to the market is laughable.

Pros

Erm...canteen is ok. That is all.

Cons

The place is falling apart. It’s desperate, absolutely desperate to survive but it won’t. Unfortunately for Canon, their whole market has been disrupted significantly and they will now shrink and disappear unless they do something radical. It’s a dying industry and they know this. What that means is that its an incredibly miserable, depressing place to work and as an employee, you will likely be very unhappy as most people are. Please stay away from this company and don’t be tempted by the historic brand.

Pros

Good Restaurant & Costa Coffee

Cons

Poor management, clueless leaders people who just perform a Check Box Exercise. If you join this organization you will not progress, it is jobs for the boys & only if your face fits. HR are a joke, they are more clueless than the senior management team. Lots of good people have been made redundant & other good people are leaving in their droves, not a healthy place to work Poor Salary not inline with the market Poor benefits & holiday compared to other companies
