Pluspunten
Good products, nice people for the most part.
Minpunten
Lack of vision, no roadmap, poor management. The company is too focused on the old way of doing business. They are not looking at the industry changes and expanding their product portifilo based on these market conditions.

Minpunten
- Payscales could be improved to meet industry standards - Option to roll over PTO would be a nice added benefit - Some internal processes could be modernized

Fujifilm is, in many ways, a genuinely great company to work for. One of its biggest strengths is the people. The team members are incredibly smart, collaborative, and passionate about what they do. There’s a strong sense of camaraderie at the peer level, and many individuals go above and beyond to support each other and produce thoughtful, high-quality work. However, that positive culture can be undermined by leadership decisions—particularly within certain departments like corporate communications. In my experience, some leadership styles disrupted team cohesion rather than strengthening it, creating a disconnect between highly capable teams and the direction they were being led. There were also concerning patterns around how certain high-performing employees were treated. At times, it felt like individuals were not supported—or were even pushed out—for not fitting more traditional or “old school” expectations around professionalism, including differences in personal style or ways of working. That kind of environment can make it difficult for diverse perspectives and talent to thrive. Additionally, concerns raised through appropriate channels, including HR, did not always feel fully acknowledged or addressed in a meaningful way. This made it challenging to see accountability or real change over time. Overall, Fujifilm has the foundation of an excellent workplace because of its people, but stronger accountability, more inclusive leadership, and a more responsive approach to employee feedback would go a long way in preserving and enhancing that culture.
