Joana,
R&D Chemist

What is the best thing about working at Shiseido and/or your current position?

The best thing about Shiseido is the fact that the organization cares about their people, both the employees and the customers. We are given the opportunity to be creative through programs like InVenT, I-con, and I-fair. Additionally, the quality of products matters greatly to management and consequently, the whole team works together to make sure we’re delivering high quality products to market. I love shopping with my gratis money for Shiseido’s high-end products.

Describe what you do.

I am an R&D chemist in the Innovation and sustainability group. Together with my team, we have formulated very novel products like the Shiseido make up VisionAiry Gel Lipstick, ColorGel LipBalm, Crystal GelGloss, NARS Oil-Infused Lip Tint and many more. I have lots of fun creating beautiful products to make our customers feel beautiful and confident.

What motivated you to choose to work at Shiseido and/or in your current position?

A very good friend of mine who used to work with me was hired at Shiseido. She always told me how great the company is and how happy she was with how much they care about their employees. She said I would enjoy it if I came to work with her. I submitted my resume and was called for an interview, and the rest is history.

How do you feel Shiseido is making a difference?

Shiseido is a very diverse company. Women and minorities are given leadership positions. We have company-wide volunteer programs to visit food banks, clean the ocean and aid in reforestation to name the few. I call Shiseido a company of inclusion and respect of the people.

Ruth,
Director, External Operations

What is the best thing about working at Shiseido and/or your current position?

Most recently the four day work week for the Summer has been instrumental in building work-life balance. It allows me to be intentional with carving out time to spend with the ones I care about most. It also allows me to get things done at home and health wise, without having to juggle it all in a condensed timeframe.
