- accepts fresh grads - cost of living in the area is cheap - learn from the pioneers in the department and Japanese expats

Sales manager
Somehow improving benefits but employee satisfaction is not about only benefits or salary on the other hand in terms of earnings (salary) there is a huge gap between newcomers and old employees.
Nothing to say, a complete frustration
Best company as a brand and is a international company feel proud being here. Work culture is good and friendly environment .
Some people are very cunning and they are not professional . Their approach is not good.
Area business manager
Canon is totally process oriented company and that is why no customer of Canon is Dis-Satisfied with Canon and because of that Canon products gets sold on premium and not only for Customer, Canon is people oriented company, they make sure that all their employees are happy....
Canon is not at par as per industry for employees remunerations, but then also the culture is too good for work, and because of that here there is very low employee alteration ration, which makes little slow for individual growth.
Project manager
Company is stable with variable bonus
Management style and mindset old fashion, promotion based on years there and not capabilities, business acumen almost zero, no proper sales strategies for any form of business, don't rock the boat mentality
Anonymous employee
Good benefits and work flexibility
Did not need the support when needed, was brushed under the carpet and then affected me in the long run.
Senior software engineer
Good dynamic environment. Challenging projects. Excellent employee camaraderie. Opportunity to work abroad
Due to extremely high information security, the environment can be very constricting. Poor management. Salary progression program is really bad
Senior marketing manager
I was made to feel relaxed and at ease during the entire recruitment process with Canon, from my initial call with HR all the way through to my final round interview and presentation. The process was a pleasure to be part of and the way I was treated at each stage made me feel relaxed and allowed me to give my best. The communication with HR was open and honest, which I really appreciated. I was contacted after every stage of the process to ask how I thought it had gone, which I am used to from a recruitment consultant but not necessarily from an internal HR team. I thought this was a nice touch. None of my interviews were at all intimidating, I felt like the people interviewing me wanted to get the most out of me rather than try and ask difficult questions for the sake of it (which can happen). I was motivated by the company and the scope of role from the beginning, but it was the entire process and the people involved throughout that made me decision to accept the role really easy.
Yet to join the company yet so I've only got positive things to say so far!
Quality control staff member
People are very friendly, nice, and respectful
there is less rest time
Sales technician
Reliable Performance: Customers can count on the consistent and dependable performance of company business printers and scanners, ensuring smooth operations in the office environment
Complex Service Plans: The variety of service plans offered by the company may be confusing for some customers to navigate, leading to difficulty in selecting the most suitable option for their specific needs and budget.
Contract sales specialist
Structured work. Defined responsibilities and expectations. Open Culture.
Pay is adequate. Product offering is going through transition phase.
Analyst
Flexible schedule, hybrid work, in office gym, large cafeteria
Slow rate of advancement, a lot of turnover
Field service engineer (fse)
Training was good flew me out on first week for a 2 week course on the tool.
Tool time in class because only one tool to work on and had four other people in the class. With only 2 weeks could not let everyone have there turn. Tool I worked on in class was not tool I worked on in the field and SW was different in the field.
Staff accountant

Not many career opportunities .
Systems developer/integrator
Good Management Positive Culture Fruit Basket Good Team building Activities Good Company cutlure
To much reliance on old technology i.e. Printers, DSLRs all of which is a sinking and dying market. Revenue is going down on an yearly basis
Consultant
Good for fresh grads looking for on the job training and opportunities to learn. Friendly people
None that I know off
- Careers prospects good if you put in the time - Excellent brand to work for and with - I now have a very nice camera - A lot of very competent people....
- ... stuck with poor systems and processes - You are expected to work long hours - Company culture is political and does not encourage speed
Marketer
Canon gives back to the community. Blood drives, clothing drives, Breast Cancer sponsor, National Center for Missing and Exploited Children sponsor, Earth Day events, etc. Great products, good building and location. Nice cafeteria
Salaries need to be higher. Not a good company to balance work and personal life. If you arrive at 9:01AM you are late. You cannot "leave early", you must take personal time. When salaried most companies let you work thru lunch or come in early to leave 30 minutes early. No working from home, but if company is closed due to weather, you are expected to work from home if needed. No official comp day policy for travel. Some managers do not communicate well, and other communication issues levels across the boards. Favoritism
Senior business development consultant
Good Benefits, Great team mates.
Bogged down by administration. Compensation changes as of late are questionable.
Software engineer
You can play video games all day if you're lucky with the team
only boomers legacy app pointless work
Executive
- Stable job if you are not looking at career progression - Reasonable annual leave considering it is a Japanese MNC
- Remuneration not competitive - Multiple reporting, sometimes overlapping one another - Top-down approach from HQ makes things rigid
flexible place to work at.
I don't think I have any.
Regional account manager
All ok, could be better
Management are not interested in truly innovating.
Manager
Generally nice people and good products.
Japanese Head Office micro-managing is stifling any innovation, and means everyone is a "Yes" person - everyone is to blame except the Head Office. "Strategy Centre" that delivers no strategy, in fact delivers nothing but cost. Core business in decline and heads fully buried in the sand at the top - decline blamed on Sales for not selling products that are not in demand and are way more expensive than the competition. Very poor decision making with no logic behind it (see UK Head Office move) Regular redundancies (unless you are Japanese) has meant they have lost their best people, and their best chance to turn the business around (not that they would listen to those people), Strategy Centre and Head Office think they know best but are very out of touch, Directors won't say no or challenge. Terrible systems, staff at the bottom end are holding everything together. Poor pay and perks mean they cannot attract the better people.
Good structure. Good salary. Ethical.
In 2014 Canon underwent major changes and unfortunately as a result many staff were retrenched, I being one of them. From the time my retrenchment was made known, I was left on my own with no leadership. My manager just stuck me away somewhere and didn't even bother to seek me out on my last day.
Great place to work Nice people
Lots of politics Office location a bit far
Integration specialist
Work from home Good team management
Feels isolated Low pay Not much youth at the company
It was the perfect job for me.
There was nothing bad about it.
Great support from management & colleagues. Nice environment and targets were achievable.
A bit quiet and small canteen.
Service delivery coordinator
Salary, team, lovely people. Thanks to everyone help, I was able to set up my work load and balance. Management totally useless.
Bossing in CBS Prague, very bad politics, mental abuse. Left after the 2 months within a probation period. Very difficult to deal with management.
Purchasing specialist
Management is good and also the co-worker
Too much overtime for the employee
Sales person gets many opportunity to get awarded internally, such as foreign trip or cash awards, along with CEO recognition. Unique corporate culture which nurture bonds between employees.
marketing of business products is weak
Not political at the executive level, work life balance
Doesn’t pay very well, red tapes
Service technician
Great training and technical support.
None currently but I haven't been here long.
Key account manager
Good organization if you are looking to improve your sales/business management skills
Basic salaries for sales people are well below market standards
Purchasing
Provide good training and can develop good career path
Conservative culture and redundant work process.
Good Company. You can learn a lot of things and grow up your professional skills.
You have a few opportunities and some time you will need to look another job if you want to earn more money.
Counsel
I hold fond memories of my time at Canon Singapore. Very supportive environment with great colleagues who were willing to impart knowledge and share. Learnt a lot in my time with the company!
Career progression may be slightly slower but stable overall.
medical benefit. structured. friendly. many long stayovers. family
stick by the book. slow in decision making. slow to market. hierarchical . less active in cross collab amongst dept.
liability for shareholders is limited. it's easy to transfer ownership by selling shares to another party. shareholders (often family members) can be employed by the company.
Sleepless nights become a norm. This competitive and restless environment can really take a toll on your mental health.
