Culture and People
Canon has been at the forefront of digital imaging solutions for more than 80 years. We’ve established a culture that’s made us a respected and successful industry leader and a reputation as a company where ambitious and self-motivated employees succeed. Yes, we have high expectations of ourselves – and of you. We expect you to be skilled and to contribute from Day 1. But we also want your career with us to be a journey, and we provide the tools to help you succeed and have a valuable role in Canon’s story.
We are high-performing and driven.
However, we’re also diverse, dedicated, passionate, friendly and supportive. No matter where you start at Canon, there are always opportunities to further grow and develop your career with us.
We are big thinkers.
When you join Canon, you become part of an organization that prides itself on its structure and high standards, that’s successful because of the breadth and depth of its products, yet still never satisfied. We believe we can always be better.
We emphasize individual responsibility.
Excelling at Canon means meeting-even exceeding-our standards of integrity, honesty and ethical behaviour. We expect you to take ownership of your future, but at the same time believe that we accomplish more as a team.
We are a diverse workforce.
Our employees come from a wide range of backgrounds, and bring with them an equally wide range of experience and expertise.
We expect you to aim high.
Meeting performance goals is important. So too is meeting them in the right way-with behaviours that align with our corporate philosophy and core values. Consistently strong performers will thrive not only in their current jobs but also in new opportunities they earn for themselves.
We are committed to our people.
We are proud that many of our employees have been with us for 20, 25, even 30 years. People don’t simply find a job at Canon, they discover a career. We encourage professional growth with rewards and development opportunities that strengthen you as an employee.
