I've been offered an interview at Fuji/FujiFilm in Bedford - it's a fantastic salary and exactly what I want to do but got to take the risk of leaving a job I love and a company I've been with for over 2 years.
I want to know (and I can find out via Google I know) what Fuji's reputation is as a company? Have they been in the news recently due to the recession of making hundreds of people redundant? Anyone indeed work for them?
Any info would be great

Cheers guys.
I could be going from £15k to £20k - £25k and it's 1.5 miles from the misses house.
Going to be a tough decision as to whether I go for it - I have a great opportunity at my current job pushing the marketing forward - just need to make sure I'm not just chasing the money.

Well I've put myself forward for the role.
Just thinking about the increased salary and decreased travel costs make me go all giddy!
