I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Canon (Toronto, ON)
Interview
Seemed like nice people, a lot of canned questions that I didn’t feel was applicable to the role I applied for.
Not a lot of perks and seems like a typical corporate company with lots of red tape.

Question 1
Give me an example of a difficult situation and how did you handle it..
I applied online. I interviewed at Canon (Brampton, ON) in Jun 2017
Interview
I was screened with a phone interview first and this took about half an hour. The person was nice and made the job sound better than it was. I was called in for a second interview a week later and I went in expecting to meet one person. As I walked into the room, there was a panel of three people sitting there.

Question 1
At first the interview questions were standard questions but the panel interview was unexpected and I was not told that there would be three people interviewing me. They took me through my resume and then started to pick at it. The questions turned into stupid things like questioning me about how I sell, what methods I use, how many times I follow up, what do I do to make a sale, how do I report things, how do I write reports, what format do I use, etc. The questions were so degrading. They were sitting in front of me with their laptops open and they were typing and looking at each other. I was so degraded and they admitted that there was only one vertical for the territory that was open, and the job became even smaller than it sounded on the phone. At the end one guy admitted that there was no job and were not sure if they were going to keep the department open. I think someone was getting fired.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Canon (London, England) in Mar 2014
Interview
Quick and clear. I was an internal applicant and the process was quick. I was invited to a first phone interview, followed by a face 2 face one with a presentation to be prepared.
