Employees at Olympus appreciate the good company benefits and work opportunities available. Some reviewers also noted the supportive department heads who are willing to guide employees, as well as the great and transparent working culture.
However, there are some potential challenges that were mentioned, such as high work pressure and a lot of responsibility in certain roles. Managing multiple processes like 5S, checksheets, tools and jigs was cited as a challenge by some. There was feedback that the company may not always take customer feedback seriously enough and can be resistant to changing processes and trying new methods. Some employees felt decision making power rested too heavily with Japanese expats in leadership roles. Additionally, office politics was mentioned as an issue by a few reviewers.
