Working at Canon in Melville, NY: 15 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Melville, NY Area

"Great company in general but executive management play favorites."

"I have worked with canon as a desktop engineer for 3 years. It is large environment that is comprised of many departments."

"I've worked for Canon USA from August, and it is a great company"

"I'm working here for the past 6 years and work culture is amazing."

"I worked for this company because it has strong moral and ethical values."

"I have worked at Canon for more than a year now."

"No room for growth. No guidance or direction. Constant turn-around. Favoritism and distrust. Condescending managers."

"As others as said of Canon: "Canon is the place you go to for your careers to die". In my case, as a consultant, I was not looking to "advance my career", but simply to get the job done. But, as I discovered from the very first day, and as my Manager told me succinctly about a week later, Canon IT is "Highly Dysfunctional". That is an extreme understatement. It is a classic old style "Command & Control" organizational culture with very established functional silos and managers not only jealously guarding their own turf but attempting to take over other's turf. Thus, it is rife with non-stop finger-pointing, and both managers and staff continuously anxious about making any misstep, which greatly slows the pace of the amount of real work that can be done. Management doesn't attempt to formalize or document processes or even recognize the need for processes that would greatly improve their ability to execute."

"12 - 14 hour work day, pay is not really good, Canon as a company is excellent but some managers are going totally the opposite way."

"I've been with the company for almost a year and a half now. At first, it seemed like a great company to work for. Little did I know, that if you don't negotiate your salary upfront, you're stuck with it forever. You're not allowed to work from home, but during inclement weather, it's expected. I've come in early, left late and it is not acknowledged and/or appreciated. You can tell how much it isn't appreciated when they give you a 2% increase as a raise."

"My main complaint is the lack of flexibility at work. There are very old fashioned attitudes about what it means to be a good employee and how to get ahead."

"The company has a large amount of expat that are under qualified for the job."

"There are some really good people and a lot of so-so legacy employees that feel entitled to the job. Japanese management is poorly trained and severely lack communication."

"Like every company, there is always good and bad. Enjoy working with people in my business line. There are some really forward thinking individuals and we always strive to move the organization forward. There are a lot of legacy employee that feel entitlement and just sit and what the time go by. This offends me personally. The current CEO has an Emperor mentality, but I don't let that affect me."

"I've worked with Canon and it seems to be a very good company."
