What’s it like working at Shimano?

AI summary of recent reviews

Shimano appears to be particularly welcoming to fresh graduates, offering them valuable opportunities to gain initial work experience in manufacturing. The company provides some basic benefits including free lunch, parking, and accommodation for some employees, which are appreciated by staff. The environment offers learning opportunities for those new to the industry who are willing to engage with the work.

However, employees note several challenges, including the impact of 24-hour operations on work-life balance and limited career development opportunities. The management structure could benefit from improvements, and the high staff turnover appears to affect workplace stability and knowledge retention within the organisation.

Offers Fix Flexi hour

The good thingsShimano have fix Flexi hour. You can either enter from 7, 8, 9 or 10am. Subsequently the clock out time is either 4.30, 5.30, and etc. Hostel is provided and the factory is located in remote area. So living cost is low. The salary is ok.

The challengesYou must be able to cope with high workload and able to complete the job within short time and under tons of stress. Most of the time will experience micro management. There are many rules and regulations that need to be fulfilled.

Good for fresh grads, but have some drawbacksI have learnt a lot and grown professionally at Shimano. This workplace is highly recommended for fresh grads to start building career in manufacturing. You can learn a lot and gain experience here. But maybe not in a longer term. Some departments have good career growth, some might not. Because if it is in one team, you have limited things to learn. If you want to learn more, you have to be proactive and have eagerness to explore by yourself. And if you cannot deal with fast-paced kind of working environment, it will be hard for you to sustain working here. Some teams or departments will might need to change their direction every half. So you have to adapt quickly with the changes. There will be lots of meetings, it's up to you whether you take it as difficulty or constructive feedback. Time management is also crucial here and it will teach you on self-discipline. Hostel & meal provided for employees that live outside from pontian, skudai, gelang patah. There's also gym and badminton court provided for their staffs. Also have allowance for productivity. Other than that, nothing much. But starting salary for Fresh grads is high and competitive here.
