Vantaggi
I loved my job with Fujifilm. When someone recently asked me about my dream job, I thought for a moment and then said, "The one I just lost". My experience working for Fujifilm was very positive although I suspect that that was due in large part to the facility where I worked and to my co-workers. The same may or may not be true company-wide. I was fortunate enough to have an exceptional manager who provided good direction and supervision when needed but did not micromanage. Daily communication through voice mail and email was very good. I felt like my input was appreciated.
Svantaggi
Like so many large companies today, Fujifilm is downsizing. At any level, there is no more job security. Plant closings and nation-wide layoffs have eliminated many excellent workers. I wouldn't say the future looks very bright for the remaining employees either. Employment trends for this industry are dismal. I rate Career Opportunities a 3.5 because in this economy, anyone with a good job at Fujifilm is trying desperately to hold on to it. There is very little voluntary turnover. Many employees involved in the most recent waves of lay-offs had worked there well over 20 years. This is by no means unique to this company but for anyone still there, I wouldn't put all my eggs in the Fujifilm basket.
