Pros

OK compensation, predictable daily routine

Cons

Don't care about employees' well-being (forced to work in close quarters for no reason during pandemic), poor work-life balance, little room for advancement, mind-numbingly dull, old-school values (minimal openness to growth), run by a few schmucks who look at profit over everything including human life, culture of punishment and very little validation even when employees work their hind ends off 55 hours a week to make the company money

I can only speak for the Marketing Department - management low stress work load no drama taking time off was never an issue department was always aware of equipment needs Shimadzu in general was a very friendly environment

Cons

Pay could have been higher I didn't see opportunity for career growth or upward mobility lack of studio for videography and photography lack of proper storage area for equipment
