Shiseido offers several positive aspects for employees, including structured work-life balance with clear working hours and minimal weekend disruptions. The company provides extensive learning opportunities through hands-on experience in various aspects of the business, and employees appreciate the collaborative atmosphere with helpful colleagues. Additional benefits include product perks such as free samples and quarterly product allowances.
However, employees note some operational challenges, including lengthy decision-making processes with multiple approval levels required. The workload distribution can be demanding due to small team sizes, with individuals often handling multiple roles. The company maintains traditional working methods with many manual processes still in place, which can impact work efficiency.
