Canon, a multinational imaging and optical products company, maintains a workforce of roughly 2,470 employees. Recent staffing activity shows only single-digit hiring and low double-digit attrition, suggesting a relatively steady employee base. The organization’s staffing profile blends customer-facing roles with engineering and corporate functions to support its broad portfolio of cameras, printers, and professional imaging solutions.
Sales and Support is Canon’s largest functional area, accounting for about 1,200 employees and nearly half of total headcount. Engineering follows with approximately 465 team members who focus on product development and technology innovation. Operations (204) and Finance & Administration (172) provide essential backbone services, while the company keeps smaller, specialized teams in Quality, Education, Healthcare, Publishing, and Risk & Compliance. A substantial "Other" category of 422 employees captures niche and cross-functional roles that do not fit neatly into a single department.
Canon’s U.S. employee footprint is widely distributed. The bulk of staff—more than 1,900 people—are recorded under "Other," indicating a large remote, field-based, or otherwise decentralized population. Among named offices, New York hosts the largest cluster with 195 employees, followed by Chicago at 135. Additional concentrations are found in Philadelphia (71), Los Angeles (45), Dallas (30), Houston (23), San Francisco (23), Miami (22), and Orlando (10). This mix of metropolitan hubs and dispersed personnel supports Canon’s nationwide sales, service, and technical operations.
