Pros

This company is good for people just looking for good money, benefits, paid time-off, family life balance. This not a place for ambitious career oriented people who want rise and move ahead in their careers. Most people who work here have either associates degree or bachelors. There are too many political issues with this company that does not let it compete with big players in this field.

Cons

I would not recommend this place to someone looking for a good career with great growth opportunity. Currently there are zero career opportunity for engineers. If you work here, you would be spending 50% of your time doing some work and other 50% would be no-brainer stuff. Do not waster your time here. There are much better opportunities that will give u less pay earlier but it will pay off as u move ahead.

Pros

There are none. The company has no strategy or vision. Senior management are incompetent. The company has been in decline for many years as there is no strategy or vision for the company. Products are designed for Japan markets and shoved down the throats of international markets.

Cons

The company is going downhill, led by its parent.The company is a huge conglomerate in thousands of businesses with no critical mass in any one business. The products are all designed in Japan for the Japan market and scant attention is paid to designing products outside of Japan. Senior management is sent overseas from Japan and they spend most of their time playing golf, drinking or socializing.
